This is jumping off point of Union forces at 4:30 in the morning on May 12, 1864. General Hancock's 3rd Corp, and other elements of the Army of the Potomac, approximately 30,000 strong, charged across this field to the Confederate earthworks on the other side of this field. The point at the tree line in the middle of this picture, taken in September 2005, is known as the bloody angle.
