The fight for Culps Hill was short. Where was the [XIICORPS]..??? Seminary Ridge now in tow, a push towards the town by Pender. Anderson about to throw his weight into the fight. Only a few cannon holding the town, could they hold? Will the yankee go for the guns, or try to pull back to Cemetery Hill....so many questions. Early now on the attack south of the town...... > > 4PM > it had been a long day but the 76th NY was still > viable, They had retreated from their Ridge line > conquest into a bees nest of Rebs but here they > stand.
