		This embassy was defeated at the Battle of Cresson on May 1, by a small force under the command of Saladin's son.

	Today in History: May 6
		At the Battle of Gettysburg, Longstreet was second in command to General Robert E. Lee, who called him affectionately, "my old war-horse." Longstreet's reputation suffered a blow at Gettysburg, where his delay in the attack known as "Pickett's charge" was blamed by many for the Confederate defeat.
		Although his right arm was paralyzed by the injury at the bloody Battle of the Wilderness, Longstreet resumed his command in November 1864, but, by that time, Lee's army was embroiled in the siege of Petersburg.
		Bad as was being shot by some of our own troops in the battle of the Wilderness,—that was an honest mistake, one of the accidents of war,—being shot at, since the war, by many officers, was worse.
