Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Peach Orchard Gettysburg July 2, 1863: Explained by Official Reports and Maps The Peach Orchard is located at the junction of the Emmetsburg and the Wheatfield (or Millertown) roads, and is on a hill or high knoll, with Big and Little Round Tops about a mile on its left and rear. Cemetery Hill is about two miles on its right and rear and two miles on the right of the Round Tops. A low ridge, of gentle inclination on either side, extends over half the distance from Cemetery Hill toward the Round Tops. For the balance of the distance the ridge flattens out into rocky, wooded, low land and is commanded by the elevation at the Peach Orchard in its front. The Peach Orchard Knoll is circled on its southerly and westerly sides by a wooded ridge(1600 yards distant on the south and 700 yards on the west), which was occupied by the Confederate artillery and infantry on July 2nd, 1863. Map one(1) shows the position occupied by the 3rd Corps from the Round Tops to the front of the 2nd Corps on Cemetery Ridge, when the battle opened, and in detail, the regiments (Graham 1st Brig., 1st Div., 3rd Corps) and batteries (Seeley´s, Randolph´s, Ames´, Thompson´s, Hart´s, Clarke´s, Phillips´, Bigelow´s) at the Peach Orchard. Gen. Humphries Division (2nd Div. 3rd Corps) connected on the right of Graham´s Brigade and extended along the Emmetsburg road, towards Gettysburg.
