A captain in the 149th would later offer a glimpse into the hell they feared this hill would become. "The pale faces, starting eye-balls, and nervous hands grasping loaded muskets, told how terrible were those moments of suspense."
Greene's troops fought savagely against Steuart's frantic lunges until Wadsworth was able to spare two regiments when the pressure eased on the north end of the hill. "When the commmander of the first of these reported to him on the firing line, the battle racket was so terrific that Greene had to give up trying to shout above the uproar, and instead wrote his name on a card which he handed to the colonel by way of indentification."
Evening w_over_w.
The battle on Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill often get overlooked in "general" accounts of Gettysburg. The batte for the Round Tops get all the coverage on Day 2. Yet, IMHO, the Culp's hill flank would have been easier to turn.
LOL. Good tagline. Suits me!
