I would have thought the area towards the Angle would predominate, but I
wonder as to the choice of from the Bliss barn area, rather than from
(e.g.) near the Point of Woods near where the Virginia monument is
today. Not being overly familiar with the lay of the whole area of
Longstreet's Day 3 charge, would a shot from the Bliss barn produce
better ideas as to the actual contours of the land - or are you just
mostly interested in what you would see of Ziegler's Grove, the Copse
and the Angle areas themselves?
