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.

Agreed. I'm just now getting into studying this aspect of Gettysburg. Maybe if Greene had run out of ammo and ordered a bayonet charge his northern flank would have gotten more glory. ;^)
