What more can one say then to stand where history was decided... Knowing the particulars of the battle, and being able to stand on the very spot where Lew Armistead waved his sword and and was shot down by Union infantry... The farthest point of the rebel attack. It's a brutal history, a brutal day, July 3rd 1863. We are very lucky that this space has been preserved.
Amazing to see the battlefield from this view. To imagine marching across the open field while under withering fire and make it all the way to this point and breach the wall. It is an amazing show of resolve.
This particular place became historically important by marking the start of the ending of Confederacy. The Confederate army lost the last major fight in the Gettysburg Battle here on July 3rd, 1863.
I really enjoyed my time and it helped me understand much more about the struggles and trials of men who faced off here. The clouds and light were just right for some texture in the photo.
This is the location that the Confederacy broke through the Union lines at Gettysburg. It’s surreal standing at such an important place in American history
