The field west of Gettysburg where Union General John F. Reynolds was killed on the morning of July 1, 1863, is the spot that opened the battle. Reynolds, commanding the Union I Corps, had sent his troops toward the town to meet Confederate advances, and he was shot near the McPherson Ridge while directing his men into position. His death was a serious loss for the Army of the Potomac, and the fighting that followed on the first day drew both armies into the Gettysburg area. Today the ground is part of the battlefield, and it remains a quiet place to consider how one morning's fight set the course for three days of battle.
