Rather than a view of the town, this item is a written descriptive page, and its place on the July 1 panel points to the battle's opening day. On July 1, 1863, Union cavalry under John Buford held the ridges west of Gettysburg until Confederate infantry arrived in force. The fighting that day pushed Union troops back through the town to the high ground of Cemetery Hill, which became the anchor of the Union line for the three days of battle that followed. The page reflects how the battle was described when it was written, so its details may differ in places from later scholarship.
