Big Round Top Description

Big Round Top was a battle site on July 2, 1863. The opening charge was directed against Union troops occupying Devil's Den, but Brig. General Law's men were forced to move further to the right toward Big Round Top to escape the concentrated artillery fire coming from the Wheatfield and Peach Orchard. Some of Law's men marched over Big Round Top to attack the open Union flank at Little Round Top.
