Between July 1 and July 3, 1863, the Federals and the Rebels fought over the rolling landscape. July 1 (Day 1): Buford’s Cavalry holds off Confederate infantry long enough for General Reynolds to arrive. However, the Union is pushed south of town, but they get solid ground on Cemetery Hill and Culp’s Hill. July 2 (Day 2): General Lee orders Longstreet up the Emmitsburg Road to attack Cemetery Hill while Ewell attacks Culp’s Hill. However, the South gets bogged down with Union General Sickle’s Corps in the Peach Orchard, the Wheatfield, Devil’s Den, and Little Round Top. Ewell is unable to take Culp’s Hill. However, Wright’s Brigade momentarily reaches Cemetery Ridge and Hay’s Brigade momentarily makes it to Cemetery Hill. Union General Hancock plugs up holes along Cemetery Ridge. July 3 (Day 3): Union General Slocum pushes the Rebels off Culp’s Hill in the early morning. Lee orders Pickett and Pettigrew to launch the infamous Pickett’s Charge from Seminary Ridge to Cemetery Ridge. Almost half of the Confederates in the attack are lost. Gettysburg was a major battle of the Civil War and possibly the turning point. Visit your library to learn more about Gettysburg and the American Civil War.
