"the Tar Heel’s chased them through the streets of Gettysburg."

Yep, they were retreating past the Seminary on their way to Little Roundtop where they would have the high ground.

BTW, 6/15/39 here you old fart.

I think they fell back to Culps Hill here they built breastworks and aided in it’s defense. I don’t believe that they were ever at Little Round Top to assist the legendary efforts of the 20th Maine.

LOL, watch your top knot, some younger scalawags here on FR seem to have an intense dislike for us old farts who are robbing them or something.

IIRC, after extracting themselves from the tangle of woods at Willouby’s Run, the Iron Brigade had regrouped on the high ground at McPherson’s Ridge, and were dislodged from there by 26th North Carolina brigade, then retreated to Seminary Ridge, where they regrouped and after very bloody fighting were dislodged again by the 26th North Carolina, and retreated through Gettysburg to Cemetery Ridge.
