View of Culps Hill from Cemetery Ridge. That hill in
the background was the position of the right flank of the
Union army. Now the slope has monument after monument
placed on it marking the positions of the units that
defended it. Be sure you're in good shape if you decide
to walk up rather than drive. |

Cannons at the Peach Orchard. Union forces couldn't
hold this position for long in the face of advancing
confederate troops. Park has a great ranger talk that
originates here and will describe the action in great
detail. |
 |
A common sight on this beautiful battlefield. The
outpouring of emotion of Park visitors leaves the
monuments strewn with flowers and wreaths. Proof that we
have not forgotten what happened here. |
 |
The famous Copse of Trees. The focal point of Lee's
final charge. The High Water Mark monument is directly
behind the trees. The deepest penetration of Lee's army
into northern soil. |
 |
Defending Devil's Den. This artillerly position faces
the Triangular field and inflicted heavy casualties on
the soldiers advancing through it. |
 |
A rare sight on the battlefield. A new monument! The
Maryland monument is under wraps in this photo taken on
Veterans Day weekend 1995. |
