Maddie is sitting exactly at the Angle. This was where the Confederates broke through the Union line during Pickett's Charge. General Armistead died only a few feet from here. The Clump of trees is just behind Maddie This area was pure pandemonium during that climax of the battle. |

The Angle is one of the fewest places during the battle where fighting was hand-to-hand. Men were shot point blank. Cannons fired directly into men's faces. Unbelievable Mayhem ! More Pictures at the Angle and Cemetery Ridge |
