So the Battle Began

Gettysburg, July 1st, 1863, Railroad Cut. Confederates from Davis's Brigade had sought shelter in the middle railroad cut that was too deep for them to shoot from when they were charged by the 6th Wisconsin, 14th Brooklyn, and 95th NY. Dale Gallon's great print, "The Railroad Cut" shown below, depicts the culmination of the charge as the 6th Wisconsin and 95th NY approach the cut. Below that is my photo of the cut today from the same perspective. The monuments in my shot are the 6th Wisconsin and 95th NY.
