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. |
