One of the most visited spots on the battlefield, the
monument to the Twentieth Maine. Marks the end of the
Union line and the place where they made their desperate
stand to hold this ground. |

Hand to hand at the Angle. A quiet spot to visit now
but this monument will give you an idea of what took
place where it now stands. Its so difficult to imagine
the brutal fighting that took place on these green
fields. Monuments like this one help us remember. |

The High Water Mark. This magnificent monument marks
the deepest penetration of Lee's army into northern soil.
It is directly behind the Copse of Trees. |
