I’ve been there. Did they go over Big Round Top to get to Little Round Top? I didn’t know that. No wonder Chaimberlin’s last ditch bayonet charge pushed them back.

That reminds me, I’ll have to watch Gettysburg again.

Oates men weren’t supposed to go up there but the colonel decided he had to push the US sharpshooters off of it rather than leave them on his flank or rear. They were nearly out of gas before they ever fired a shot at the 20th Maine.
