While many accounts of Pickett's Charge emphasize that the Union had the high ground and was protected by stone walls, neither the slope nor the walls are that impressive. Here, the wall is shown as knee high. The wall shown is from The Angle. The people shown are walking towards the Union rear. In the background is the High Water Mark tablet.
