The three-day fight of July 1 to 3, 1863, around the small Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg was the largest battle of the Civil War. Union forces under George G. Meade met Robert E. Lee's Confederate army across the fields, orchards and ridges south and west of town, and casualties on both sides ran into the tens of thousands. The climax came on July 3, when Lee's infantry assaulted the Union center on Cemetery Ridge in the attack later called Pickett's Charge. Historians often treat the battle as a turning point, after which Lee's army never again mounted a major invasion of the North.
