The Spangler Farm / by Dave Hileman

This is the view that the soldiers driving the wagon bearing the wounded General L. Armistead would have coming back from the charge on July 3. Armistead his hat held high over head on the end of his sword led his men across the stone wall at the apex of the Confederate advance. He was mortally wounded there and taken back to this farm that served as a battlefield hospital for more than 1900 men from July 1st and continued after the battle. At one point 500 wounded men filled the barn and more in the house and outbuildings while the family of 6 lived for a week in one upstairs room.
