Killer Angel: Harrison (the Spy)

This is the first of 13 mashups of clips from "Gettysburg" (1993) that attempt to capture the motives of major characters from the film and its source, Michael Shaara's novel, The Killer Angels. To go to the next and those that follow, go to    • Killer Angel: Pickett  . The first character we meet is Harrison, an actor now spying for the Confederacy. (He preferred to be called a scout). He pretended to be a half-witted farmer looking for his runaway wife as he rode across Northern territory, picking up vital information about the size and disposition of the Union army. He reported what he had learned to Longstreet, who trusted Harrison's skills despite Lee's misgivings about such a source. In the absence of Lee's usually trustworthy cavalry commander J. E. B. Stuart, they had no choice but to act on Harrison's warning that the whole Union army was closing in on them. Harrison's theatrical mannerisms suggest he missed the stage and the applause from a live audience, and he resented the fact that those along his path took him for whom he was pretending to be. So for whom was Harrison actually performing? It seems clear that he would like to convince himself at least that he could act. To put it in a word, Harrison had come to Gettysburg for the drama of it all.
