I think some of McGilvery’s guns were a little farther north than that southern arrow, but great presentation. The reason I say this is you can just see the base of the Pennsylvania monument from Auto Tour stop 11. The guns would not have direct line of sight unless they were at least that far uphill. Thanks again!

General Longstreet could see the folly of it. It was an impending disaster, and avoidable. General Lee was outgunned, and rolled the dice

it is amazing how much of this information was recorded by the officers so that such details can be demonstrated visually. In some ways, due to the way military units are built, it is almost down to the man.

Seems to me the attack had no chance unless the Union lines simply fled.

I agree. I think this will be the topic of my next video: "Why the Union Won at Gettysburg". Buford and Reynolds gave Meade a winning hand, then Meade made no mistakes...and beyond that the Union had a list of advantages as long as your arm.

@@gettysburgminutebyminute8607 Thanks and look forward to it. You might add, "then Meade got flayed by the politicians in Washington..." The federal troops had to be absolutely wasted and exhausted after rushing to Gettysburg in the steaming sun and then three days of dreadful battle; did they still have adequate ammunition, cannon shot, good horses, etc?

Great video. I would like to say that Archer's (Fry's) Bgd. was further towards the right (south.) They were just to Garnett's left. In fact they were the far right bgd of Pettigrews Div. that Garnett was guiding towards during their left oblique march across the fields. Some of Fry's Tennesseeans were at The Angle and may have gone over with Armisteads men. June Kimble of the 14th Tenn. wrote about this as did some from the 1st Tenn. All of their flags except for the 7th Tenn. were captured at on close to the stonewall.

71st Penn regiment broke and ran away from the fight to the rear allowing Armistead's men to breach Cemetery Ridge causing the 69th of Penn regiment to get savaged at the angle.
