This statue of Union General Otis Howard looks in the direction of Gettysburg below. On the evening of 3 July his unit held against a most determined attack by General Early with substantial casualties. The 2000 attacking Confederates took the hilltop but Union counterattack drove them off. I'll spend the rest of this day waking the ground, analyzing the terrain, and imagining the valor and stress of it all.
