Pritchard Gets Itchy
memorandum, Confederate War Department to Maj. General R.E.L. Stuart, Chapultapec, Mexico:
July 11, 1904: General, you are hereby officially ordered to assault the fortress of Chapultapec, regardless of expectation of heavy casualties as you have previously reported. That castle is the key to the defense of the Mexican capital and must be reduced immediately. Failure to comply will result in dismissal.
