It's your history. Educate yourself!----Ten Facts About Gettysburg


Ten Facts About Gettysburg:
"Fact #3: The Second Day’s Battle (July 2) was the largest and costliest of the three days.
 The second day’s fighting (at Devil’s Den, Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, Cemetery Ridge, Trostle’s Farm, Culp’s Hill and Cemetery Hill) involved at least 100,000 soldiers of which roughly 20,000 were killed, wounded, captured or missing.
The second day in itself ranks as the 10th bloodiest battle of the Civil War—with far more casualties than the much larger Battle of Fredericksburg."
