What became the first of several problems that General E Lee faced as the US Civil War Battle of Gettysburg was about to begin?

As the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg came closer, General Lee was hampered by the fact he was not sure of the enemy's position. Lee had an idea that the battle would be near the small town of Gettysburg, however, he lacked specific information he deemed critical. Many will be surprised that the problem here was JEB Stuart's failure to provide Lee with solid reconnaissance information and was unable to move to General Meade's supplies and cause damage.On this basis alone, Lee had marched into Pennsylvania "half blind".
