Additional Details:
This small copse of trees was the center and focal point of Pickett's charge. It was pointed out by Pickett, who led the charge, to his men as their objective point. Just to the right is the "Bloody Angle", where the remnant of 15,000 men met and penetrated the Union lines, but to no purpose. The charge was made at one P.M. on the third day of battle. From its repulse the Confederate arms began to waver; it proved their Waterloo.
