GDG- RE: NJ at Gettysburg

[jeff burk]

Greetings
   
  From "NJ Gettysburg Battlefield Commision Report."  "General Graham is exactly right in reference to the position of the regiment when it halted from the charge across the field and engaged the enemy, and where Col. Francine was wounded."  The report goes on and mentions some landmarks that place the monument at the above spot.

If I remember correctly, the 7th was positioned in reserve with the
clear purpose of being battery supports, which is what they did before
they had to fall back. >>
If memory serves me right, the 7th NJ monument was meant to mark the spot where Francine fell.
