GDG- Weinbrenners run

[keith mackenzie]

1883 gbma map? I downloaded that from the GDG, and If I've got it right, the run goes by the Culp house then forks north and south, where early's division straddles it. I'm thinking the southern fork is the one that we saw under the school?

As I recall, the tree line was along a lane that was moved or less north and south, while the run moves almost due east to Rock Creek. I have a map that shows a farm lane running from the Culp house about SSE toward the creek. I think that's where a tree line was. But we still don't know where that photo was taken!

Thankyou Jim. It was a good stomp. I think that Chuck does a terrific job describing the field, (even when he's wrong). It's why he's one of my favorite guides.
Now the line of trees he pointed out to the east of our position, was that a road, or the stream?

Hi, Keith, 
Yes, that was Winebrenner's Run, the same run that passes along the side of the Farnsworth house. On July 2 it was used for shelter by the men of Hays and Avery's brigades as they skirmished with soldiers of the XI Corp. The run provided some shelter from bullets, but not from the heat of the Gettysburg summer sun. When they began their assault on East Cemetery Hill in the evening, Gordon's brigade moved forward in support to the same run, but were not ordered to join the attack.
Didn't Chuck do a great job of describing that action to us? That was a great, if chilly, Stomp.

During the stomp, Chuck T showed us a small creek that seemed to run under the school.

Was that Weinbrenners Run?
