Three Days of Fighting That Resulted |
In Total Losses of Over 50,000 and
Put Confederate Forces on the
Defensive,
Bravely fought by two great armies
of Americans, bravely won by the Fed-
erals and bravely lost by the Confed-
erates the battle of Gettysburg proved
to be the turning point of the Civil
war. Before that the victories of the
south were frequent and its armies
were aggressive. After the bloody
battle of July 1, 2 and 3, 1863, the
forces of the Confederacy were gen-
erally on the defensive. Lee's inva-
sion of the north, undertaken in the
hope that it would bring foreign aid
to the southern cause, was brought to
a sudden and disastrous end.
General Lee's army at Gettysburg
numbered approximately 84,000, while
the Federal forces, under command of
Gen. George G. Meade, aggregated
about 80,000 officers aud men. Lee's
corps commanders were Generals
Longstreet, Ewell and A. P. Hill. Com-
manders of the Union corps were Gen-
erals John F. Reynolds, W. S. Han-
cock, D. E. Sickles, Sykes, Sedgwick,
O. O. Howard and Slocum.
Reynolds, sent ahead to feel out the
enemy, arrived at Gettysburg the eve-
ning of June 31, and in the fighting
which began early the next day, was
killed. Gen. Abner Doubleday, who
succeeded him, was forced back to
Seminary Ridge, after hard fighting,
and then had to abandon that posi-
tion, so that the first day of the bat-
tle was in reality a Confederate vic-
tory. That night Meade ordered the
entire Union army to Gettysburg, and
by next morning tho two armies were
confronting each other along a ten-
mile line of battle.
Lee ordered Longstreet to turn the
left flank of the Federal army by tak-
ing Little Round Top, but Sickles de-
feuded that position so stubbornly
that Longstreet's movement was
checked, Peach Orchard, Cemetery
Hill, Culp's Hill and The Devil's Den
were tho scenes of desperato fighting,
and Little Round Top v>as saved to
the Federals by the arrival of a brig-
ado under General Weed. His men
dragged the guns of a battery to the
summit by hand.
The third day opened with a won
derful artillery duel, the greatest of
the entire war, end then came Pick-
ett's charge, whioh has gone into his
tory as one of the most heroic as-
saults of all time. The men of
Pickett's division formed in brigade
