army. Monument in the background depicts the hand to hand
fighting that took place here. |

The marker for the spot where General Armistead fell
after leading his men across the field of Picketts
Charge. Less than 200 soliders made it across the rocks
at the Angle. |

The National Cemetery. A beautiful and reverent
resting place for the men who died on these fields. Very
moving to stand near the markers for the unknown dead and
remember the sacrifice they made. |
|
A view of the field of Picketts Charge as the men who
made it saw it. Try to imagine walking all that way under
fire. Copse of Trees in the center in the distance. |
