The Gettysburg Campaign Part 17: A Determination to Do or to Die
After at least an hour of constant artillery fire the Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Assault, better known as Pickett's Charge, finally began. The Confederate infantry marched toward Union lines on Cemetery Ridge, taking fire from artillery and infantry skirmishers. When the rebels crossed the Emmitsburg Road Union infantry of General Winfield Scott Hancock's Second Corps opened fire. A small group of Virginians led by General Lewis Armistead managed to climb over the stone fence in a gap in the Union line near the Copse of Trees. Despite the breakthrough, Federal troops rally and repulse the rebels, ending the Battle of Gettysburg in a Union victory. https://www.facebook.com/EMHistory?mibextid=LQQJ4d
