Chuck -- I'll go with this......
 
  
First. the Confederate accounts from participants and observers are
consistent that Wright's Brigade crossed the (Union works on Emmitsburg Pike), breached the Union line (of the 15th Mass and 82nd New York), and captured (several of Brown's guns  on the slope) of the ridge.

Second, the Federal accounts from those units to the south of the Copse
(Hall, Harrow, and Webb's Brigades) are consistent that the enemy attack
they faced was stopped clearly short of their line.
