THE HIGH WATER MARK WITH THE "COPSE OF TREES" DIRECTLY BEHIND. THIS SMALL GROVE OF TREES HAD NO SIGNIFICANCE BEFORE THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG. ON JULY 3RD, THE LAST DAY OF THE BATTLE, IT BECAME THE FOCAL POINT OF HAD-TO-HAND COMBAT AT THE CLIMAX OF PICKETT'S CHARGE. THIS IS WITHIN AN AREA CALLED "THE ANGLE", WHICH IS NAMED FOR THE STONE "FENCE" THAT SURROUNDS IT.
