Early morning Union attack is longest sustained action at Gettysburg
...We're on Cemetery Hill, the rallying point of the Union soldier on the evening
of July 1st. It is also the site of a Confederate attack on the evening of July
2nd. To your right is Culp's Hill. That attack has been going on for a number of
hours before this attack begins. In fact, the Confederates attack this position
literally in total darkness, which is a rarity in the American Civil War. You
generally do not attack or defend at night...
