Maddie arrived
in Gettysburg at 10:30 am. on a beautiful sunny day.
General Reynolds was killed at
about that time during the early moments of the battle. We started the
tour at McPherson's Ridge.
That was the site of the First Day's Battle. On the ridge is the
Marker of the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry. Sallie Ann's Statue
is right there. You have to get out of the car to see Sallie Ann
because her statue can not be seen from the tour road. It has been
said that Sallie Ann was with her Regiment for all three days of the
battle. She survived through all the killing.
