Thanks, Curt .We are all in agreement that it was Benner's Hill, since the 
first day's fighting would not be visible from Wolf's Hill (Culp's Hill 
would block the view).  Dave's initial question was more rhetorical than 
inquiring, I think.

Turns out it was a pretty lousy artillery position for Major Latimer.

Managed to find a copy of the Williams book on the web for $12.00.  Thanks 
for putting me on to it.
