George Gordon Meade, victor of the battle of Gettysburg, was born, raised and
flourished in a culture largely dependant on the horse. He spent his entire
career as a professional officer profondly involved with horses. In reading
his writings, it is obvious that he was far from "inguistically incompetent".
It is just as obvious that George didn't know squat about horses.
