GDG- III Corps

[CWMHTours at aol.com]

THNX Jim-
 
It was something that I'vc always wondered.  I have  wanted to know exactly 
where they were bivouacked.
 
Sickles's behavior in the advance shall always be  troubling.

Before Sickles advanced to the Peach Orchard how was the III  Corps arrayed?

Did they actually set up a defensive line II Corps to  LRT or did they 
remain in marching or column formation?   >>

The elements of the Corps already on the field remained more  or less 
massed in their overnight bivouac areas, and never did set up a  defensive line 
down to LRT prior to advancing.  Even when the corps did  move forward, if by 
no means happened all at once.
