“‘On come the mad Georgians’ : Wright’s Brigade at Gettysburg”

LBG Paul Bailey

Captain Charles H. Andrews, 3rd Georgia Infantry Regiment wrote of the July 2nd advance, Wright’s Brigade “wedged into the center of the Federal position.” General Wright “believing himself the master of the northern ridge of Cemetery Hill, fights with desperate energy.” However, the brigade was “rather forsaken than vanquished” and forced to retreat. This 1 mile walk across the same field will look at the possible locations where the “wedge” broke the Federal position and if Wright was the “master of the northern ridge.”
