The Battle of Gettysburg, the second day: By the morning
of July 2, 1863, 150,000 Union and Confederate troops
had converged on the little Pennsylvania town. The southerners
occupied a line west of the Emmittsburg Road, along
the Seminary Ridge. The northern men waited along Cemetery
Ridge - a slightly more elevated crest that ran south
toward two hills, Big and Little Round Top. Lee's
plan called for an assault on the left, or southernmost,
end of the Union line.
