Ask A Gettysburg Guide- #GetOutOfTheCar2021- April 17, Greene's Brigade

Lewis Trott joins us for our first #Getoutofthecar2021 Ask A Gettysburg Guide. Now you don't have to come to our tours without any prior knowledge of the area and troops we will get to know. 

April 17th's tour:

"My God, young man…if you go out there with your regiment they will swallow you!"  As the Confederates under Lt. General Richard Ewell swept westward on the late afternoon of July 2, 1863, their task was a literal uphill battle as they climbed the northern slopes of Culp's Hill. The men of the Union 12th Corps had spent all day preparing their welcome until they were ordered away, leaving only George Sears Greene's 1400-man brigade behind. Join us as we explore the defenses of the northern part of Culp's Hill and explain just how arduous a task the Confederates actually had.
