Fighting intensifies as combat goes hand to hand amongst the rocks
...This is the left flank of Dan Sickles' line. Remember, he has pushed forward,
away from the �fishhook� line and he anchors his left flank in these rocks. He
has about 1,500 Union soldiers in these rocks, on top of these rocks, and down
along the ridgeline to our right. This ridgeline exits into a place called The
Wheatfield, well to our right. Sickles has four cannons up here, as well. It's a
pretty strong position, as you can see. However, the Confederates eventually
compromise this position by totally encircling it and forcing the Union soldiers
to withdraw...
