Tuesday Evening Walk – August 27, 2024

LBG Chuck Rebesco’s 27 August 2024  “Carroll’s Brigade at East Cemetery Hill.”

There was another “All Western Brigade” with a nickname at Gettysburg.  As part of the Second Infantry Corps of the Army of the Potomac, Carroll’s “fighting fools” participated in some of the heaviest fighting of the Eastern Theater.  This walk will introduce the Gibraltar Brigade and discuss its contribution during the July 2nd evening battle for East Cemetery Hill.  Like many other parts of the Gettysburg battle, this action also has its share of controversy and legend.
