This memorial, located on the hill where Maj.Gen. Robert E Rodes' Confederates attacked from, threatening Union forces. 75 years later, 1800 Civil War veterans helped dedicate this memorial to "Peace Eternal in a Nation United".
Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's Confederate army's assault's began here, directed at the Union troops occupying Devil's Den, the Wheatfield and Peach Orchard and against General Meade's undefended left flank at the Round Tops.
As a result of quick action by Brig. Gen Warren, Gen. Meade's chief engineer, Union officers were alerted to the Confederate threat and Federal reinforcements were brought here to defend the position
The Union line extended from Devil's Den to this point here, then angled northward on Emmittsburg Road. From here, Federal cannon bombarded Southern forces crossing the Rose Farm toward the Wheatfield. By that early evening, Confederate attacks overran the position.
Union soldiers crossed this ground on their way from the Peach Orchard to Cemetery Ridge to retreat as fighting raged to the south at the Wheatfield and Little Round Top
This is the point where Union artillery held the line here on Cemetery Ridge as General Meade called on more support to strengthen and hold the center of the Union position.
After having attacked the right flank of the Union army and occupying the lower slopes of Culp's Hill, the next morning the Confederates were driven off after 7 hours of fighting
Site of the most climatic moment of the battle on July 4th. after a 2 hour cannonade, some 7,000 union soldiers repulsed the bulk of the 12,000 man "Picket's Charge" causing General Lee's army to begin retreating
