Remembrance Of Gettysburg Battle Scene Under One Flag
An account recalls the gathering of tens of thousands of survivors on the Gettysburg site to recount battles from fifty years past. On July 1 1863 Lee and Meade maneuvered toward Gettysburg as the Army of the Potomac coordinated corps movements. The First corps led by Reynolds advanced to defend the town with Sickles pushing forward. Early in the morning Union cavalry clashed with Confederate infantry while Steinwehr’s division occupied Cemetery Ridge as reserve. Howard alerted Meade to Reynolds’ death and advancing foes near Gettysburg as Rodes and Early struck the Eleventh corps from front and flanks. The Iron Brigade and Bucktails bore heavy losses while retreating to the ridge by nightfall. Lee directed the July 1 actions with Meade arriving by the next morning.
