Gettysburg National Military Park Virtual Tour Stop #16- Culp's Hill A substantial hill with heavily wooded slopes, Culp's Hill was a perfect anchor for the Union right flank at Gettysburg, and became known as the point of the famous "fishhook". The situation on Culp's Hill remained quiet throughout July 2 until dusk when, in the gathering darkness, Union troops distinctly heard the tramp of thousands of feet on dry leaves, which grew louder and closer with the gloom of night. Culp's Hill is still thick with tree cover today, though at the time of the battle the woods were not as dense. www.nps.gov /gett/getttour/tstops/tstd2-16.htm   (1799 words)

Hill Encyclopedia Article @ HillCountryArtists.com (Hill Country Artists) Hills have become sites for many famous battles, including the Battle of Bunker Hill (which was actually fought from Breed's Hill) in the American War for Independence and Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill in the Battle of Gettysburg, the turning point of the American Civil War. The distinction between a hill and a mountain is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is generally somewhat lower and less steep than a mountain. Hills may form through a number of geomorphic phenomena: faulting, erosion of larger landforms, and movement and deposition of sediment by glaciers (eg. www.hillcountryartists.com /encyclopedia/Hill   (613 words)

Major General Henry Slocum Slocum manged to persuade Meade to leave one of his brigades, that of George Greene's New Yorkers--60, 78, 102, 137, 149 NY--on Culp's Hill, and this brigade, especially John Ireland's 137th NY, saw heavy action that evening and the following day. Slocum positioned his troops on Culp's Hill to the right of those from Solomon Meredith's Iron Brigade of James Wadsworth's 1st Division, I Corps, who had been ordered to Culp's Hill by Hancock. Upon his arrival on the afternoon of 1 July, Slocum, knowing that he would be given overall command of the field upon reporting, was reluctant to go to Cemetery Hill to confer with the other corps commanders. www.russscott.com /~rscott/26thwis/henryslo.htm   (260 words)

Encyclopedia: Battle-of-Gettysburg Most of the XII Corps was on Culp's Hill, the remnants of I and XI Corps defended Cemetery Hill, II Corps covered most of the northern half of Cemetery Ridge, and III Corps was ordered to take up a position to its flank. At the same time, Edward "Alleghany" Johnson's and Jubal Early's Second Corps divisions were to make a "demonstration" against Culp's and Cemetery Hills (again, to prevent the shifting of Federal troops), and to turn the demonstration into a full-scale attack if a favorable opportunity presented itself. However, before Longstreet was ready, Federal XII Corps troops attacked the Confederates on Culp's Hill in an effort to regain a portion of their lost works. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Battle_of_Gettysburg   (260 words)

Ghost Encounters of the Farnsworth Kind As the Northern forces entrenched along Culp's Hill, the house was used as a bastion for Confederate sharpshooters as part of a Confederate perimeter paralleling the base of Culp's Hill. Over 150 bullet holes still mark the outer wall facing Culp's Hill. The house was constructed in 1810 with the brick portion added in 1833, and was owned by the Sweney family during the Battle of Gettysburg. hauntedfieldsofglory.com /gallery/gettysburg/farnsworth/history.html   (260 words)

A Thin Blue Line Slocum pulled five of his six brigades off Culp’s Hill to go help, leaving Greene’s Third Brigade alone on the upper summit. Meade’s Union army at Gettysburg had assumed a defensive position in the form of a fish hook, its right flank anchored at Culp’s Hill. Henry Slocum’s XII Corps built breastworks during the morning of July 2 along the east slope of the highest summit, across the saddle, then south across the east slope of the lower hill, nearly down to the Baltimore Pike. www.bivouacbooks.com /bbv2i3s3.htm   (260 words)

The First Day’s Battle Alpheus Williams's division (2/XII) originally occupies Benner's Hill, but the retreat of XI Corps to Cemetery Hill makes that position useless and Williams is recalled to occupy Culp's Hill on the right of Cemetery Hill. Hancock and Howard rally the survivors of I and XI Corps on Cemetery Hill, basing their new lines on the position occupied by von Steinwehr earlier in the day, and on the artillery of I and XI Corps, most of which is still effective. Rather than commit it to his main line, Howard deploys it on Cemetery Hill as a reserve. members.aol.com /jfepperson/gettys1.html   (260 words)

Upon his arrival on the afternoon of 1 July, Slocum, knowing that he would be given overall command of the field upon reporting, was reluctant to go to Cemetery Hill to confer with the other corps commanders. On 3 July, at about 4:30 AM, troops from XII Corps made a preemptive strike against the Confederate troops occupying the area around Spangler's Spring while they were planning their own attack at about 7:00 AM to coincide with what they thought would be James Longstreet's assault on the Federal left. www.rubylane.com /shops/beekeeperscivilwar/item/1   (7283 words)

Battle of Gettysburg At the same time, Edward "Alleghany" Johnson's and Jubal A. Early's Second Corps divisions were to make a "demonstration" against Culp's and Cemetery Hills (again, to prevent the shifting of Federal troops), and to turn the demonstration into a full-scale attack if a favorable opportunity presented itself. The Union line as established ran from Culp's Hill southeast of the town, northwest to Cemetery Hill just south of town, then south for nearly two miles along Cemetery Ridge, terminating just north of Little Round Top. It is interesting to speculate how the more aggressive Jackson would have acted on this order if he had lived to command this wing of Lee's army, and how differently the second day of battle would have proceeded with Confederate artillery on Cemetery Hill, commanding the length of Cemetery Ridge. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/b/ba/battle_of_gettysburg.html   (7283 words)
