This is the south slope of Little Round Top, also known as Vincent's Spur. By sheer chance, Col. Strong Vincent got his brigade to this spot in time to turn back the Confederate attack on July 2, 1863. He was was mortally wounded on this spot and was promoted to general posthumously. The small tablet placed in his honor was only the second monument on the battlefield, erected August 1, 1878. Up on the hill is the monument to the 44th and 12th New York Infantry, also under Vincent's command.
