The fight for the Peach Orchard on July
2nd was an accident that set the outcome of the battle. Meade had never
intended for it to be a part of his defense, and Lee had never intended for it
to be the focus of his attack, yet this is precisely how it unfolded. As the
fight begins, first with artillery, then with vast infantry columns on the
assault, it becomes a chaotic and crackling battle story with the bloodiest
three-hours fighting of the entire battle, perhaps of the entire Civil War.
Explore the dramatic action at the level of the regiments and of the batteries
– all of it under the shadow of a debate raging for 150 years about the
decisions made by Dan Sickles and James Longstreet. The classroom seminar will
break down the battle action in close sequence, followed by a narrated walk on
the field to relive the events. Cost is $70 Members/$95 Non-members. For more information or to register for this event, please contact Ann Swade, aswade@gettysburgfoundation.org, 717-339-2148. Registration deadline is May 3, 2013. |
