. Pennsylvania at Gettysburg : ceremonies at the dedication of the monuments erected by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to Major General George G. Meade, Major General Winfield S. Hancock, Major General John F. Reynolds and to mark the positions of the Pennsylvania commands engaged in the battle . iment in theGettysburg battle. We had one company in the regiment from Gettys-burg, Company K, and many of the men fought within sight of their ownfiresides. On July 4th, in the morning, we marched over Little RoundTop and stacked arms about where the railroad station now is, at thefoot of the hill, where we lay all day and General Meades order congratu-lating the army on the victory was read to us. It rained a great deal thatday and night. On the morning of July 5th the regiment took up the marchfor Lees retreating column, marching on the Taneytown road some dis-tance when we left the main road, following tlie enemy very closely withconsiderable skirmishing and capturing a number of officers and men. Ashort distance from Falling Waters on the Potomac they made a standbut soon left. This was about July 12th as near as I can remember, whenthe regiment was marched by the double-quick to Williamsport, where wewere assigned to our position on the left in the main line of battle.
