It would seem so if along the ridge in front of you were scores of cannons and hundreds of soldiers behind stone walls, four deep so the fusillade never slackened. You had reached this point marching in formation then wheeled left along the road and at this point turned again to press the charge across the last 1/2 mile or so, slightly uphill on that hot July afternoon in 1863. You can see the Pennsylvania monument on the right side the clump of trees in the right center was the High Water Mark but not likely the real objective. Most historians believe the attack was supposed to aim at the higher ground to the left where the National Cemetery is now but in the battle confused the objective. Last of the Gettysburg photos for a bit. This again is the route of Pickett’s Virginia troops.
