Monument at the Angle to the 2nd Corp Artillery who played a crucial part on the 3rd day of battle in this place. |

This monument marks the spot where Gen. Lewis Armistead fell on July 3rd. Unbelievably it sits almost in the center of the Angle. When you visit Gettysburg stand in front of this monument and look behind it at the tree line in the far distance where his march began and ask yourself how he could possibly have made it this far under intense infantry and artillery fire. It's simply amazing. |

This large stone monument sits
directly behind the North Carolina monument on Seminary Ridge which
appears below. As you drive down Confederate Ave. you absolutely must stop
and see this monument. It is one of the most intense and moving on the
entire battlefield.

The next two photos are of the North Carolina monument which sits directly across the field of battle from the Copse of Trees. Spend some time here and study the expressions on the faces of the men who appear on this monument. You can't help but feel something of what they must have felt as they started across that open field under fire. |

Front view of the North Carolina monument. Many visitors to the Park honor the contribution of these soldiers by leaving flowers at this monument and many others. With all of the decades that have past what happened on these beautiful green fields has never been forgotten. |

The Longstreet monument sits in the woods on Confederate Ave. As you can see in the photo it's been adorned with flags and flowers as it often is. |
