Gettysburg - July 2,
14”x 20” signed limited edition(100)print Pine Tree Warriors
Gettysburg - July 2, 1863The 20th Maine regiment was organized in August 1862. Prior to Gettysburg the regiment had seen limited combat. The 20th Maine was part of Vincent’s Brigade, Barnes Division, Sykes’ V corps. Arriving at Gettysburg at mid morning on July 2nd, the V was held in reserve. Eventually the V corps was moved to the Union right. During that move the situation became critical. Not only was it becoming apparent to the Union Command that an attack was imminent in that area, but the III corps was not where General Meade (charitably speaking) intended it to be.
General Gouverneur Warren of Meade’s staff hurried to Little Round Top to assess the situation. There were no troops there though he could see Ward’s line covering Houck’s Ridge to the immediate front of Little Round Top. Looking into the woods to the southeast he could see Confederate troop considerably to the south of the Union flank. Warren sent out couriers to find the troops to cover the vulnerable right.
Somewhere near the Wheatfield a courier from General Sykes approached Vincent’s brigade looking for General Barnes. Sykes was requesting a brigade to move to Little Round Top. Vincent perceived the necessity and without direct orders turned his brigade toward the partially cleared hill. Initially the 16th Michigan was placed on the left flank but then was moved to the right leaving the 20th Maine to cover a low ridge in the woods running south of the peak of Little Round Top. Vincent assured Colonel Joshua Chamberlain of the 20th Maine that his position represented the Left flank of the Union army and he was to hold it.
For some time Chamberlain could only hear the sounds of battle off to his right as Devil’s Den heated up and later the center of Vincent’s line came under attack. Finally off to the South the men of the 20th saw the legs of Southern Troops approaching-the upper bodies of the Alabamans were still covered by the foliage that had been grazed up to neck level by cattle. This gave the Chamberlain a few more moments to prepare.
The scene portrayed is just moment after the first Union volley. The 15th Alabama still pushes forward through the wooded haze. Several times that evening the attacker would reach the Union line only to be pushed back in hand to hand combat.
After more than an hour of desperate fighting with both side nearly out of ammunition the 20th Maine fixed bayonet and charged down the hill an across the hollow and the Union flank was preserved.
