Ricketts, was injured when his horse was shot from underneath him" - while Eicher does mention Meade taking command of the I Corps, Eicher doesn't have the detail about the injuries to Hooker and Ricketts.

251:"although the aggressive maneuvering that eventually cornered Lee in the trenches around Petersburg were Grant's initiative as well" - Rhea p. 14 is discussing mid-May performances and makes no mention of Petersburg 269:
In all of these cases, Grant bears some of the responsibility for approving Meade's plans, but Meade's performance was not at the same level of competence he displayed on other occasions
