July 1, 1863, had gone poorly for the Union army’s XI Corps.
Shattered in battle north of the Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg,
the battered and embarrassed unit ended the day hunkered at the
crest of a cemetery-topped hill south of the village.
Reinforcements fortified the position, which extended eastward to
include another key piece of high ground, Culp’s Hill. The
Federal line also extended southward down Cemetery Ridge, forming
what eventually became a long fishhook. July 2 saw a massive
Confederate attack against the southernmost part of the line. As
the Southern juggernaut rolled inexorably northward, Federal troops
shifted away from Culp’s Hill and Cemetery Hill to meet the
threat. Just then, the Army of Northern Virginia’s vaunted Second
Corps launched itself at the weakened Federal right. The very men
who, just the day before, broke the Union army resolved to break it
once again. The ensuing struggle—every bit as desperate and with
stakes every bit as high as the more-famous fight at Little Round
Top on the far end of the line—left the entire Union position in
the balance. “Stay and fight it out,” one Union general
counseled. The Confederates were all too willing to oblige. Authors
Chris Mackowski, Kristopher D. White, and Daniel T. Davis started
their Gettysburg account in Don’t Give an Inch: The Second Day at
Gettysburg, July 2, 1863—from Little Round Top to Cemetery Ridge.
Picking up on the heels of its companion volume, Stay and Fight It
Out: The Second Day at Gettysburg, July 2, 1863—Culp’s Hill and
the Northern End of the Battlefield they recount the
often-overlooked fight that secured the Union position and set the
stage for the battle’s fateful final day.
