Culps Hill, on the southern end of the Union line at Gettysburg, was the scene of some of the fiercest fighting on July 2, 1863, the second day of the battle. Confederate troops under Edward Johnson attacked the wooded heights on the evening of July 2 and into the morning of July 3, trying to seize the works that anchored the Union right flank. Union defenders, including the 12th and 28th Massachusetts and several New York regiments, held on through the night in a series of close, rocky engagements. The hill's stony, tree-covered slopes made it difficult ground for both sides, and it is still one of the most intact battlefield landscapes on the field.
