Per the Union Dead: As you might expect, I have seen Jerry Coates' article in the Gettysburg Magazine and it is definitely, absolutely not the correct site. The angles are wrong, the historic treelines do not match and there are numerous other problems as well. His is just one of more than twenty eight possible sites submitted to William Frassanito for confirmation. The fatal flaw of most all of them is in not recording the images at the right angles. The thing about the images that might help us the most--that there were five plates recorded in two different angles--also makes confirmation of both angles a necessity.

Thanks,

Garry Adelman


Have you seen the Earl Coates article on that photo?  His conclusion is it's 
the 5 NJ when they were on picket duty, and the location is south of the 
Spangler farm.  The view is best compared when looking from the west.
