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.
Yes, for many years the events in and near the Wheatfield were perhaps the
most confusing in the Battle for me (even after having read Pfanz's masterful
book), But a couple years ago, walking and driving the terrain with
excellent maps and reference books at hand finally gave me an understanding of how
the separate bits of terrain fit together and how the various events linked up.
