GDG- Lurkers-What do you find most confusing about the Battle?

[CHAR & CHARLIE]

One of my best days at Gettysburg was the day that I spent 8 hours walking 
the entire Wheatfield area with three books on that part of the battle.  It 
really helped with understanding the confusing events of the afternoon of 
the July 2nd.  The best part was getting the sense of the terrain with all 
the ups and downs of the area - nothing is flat there.  Finding the area of 
the famous confederate death scene photos of Sullivan's after the battle, 
and the marker for Capt. Fuller  in the woods, the site of Col Jeffords 
struggle, the view of the Rose farm and just imagining the sound of mini 
balls ricocheting off of the walls -  all made for a great day.
