Additional Details:
At the battle of Gettysburg, the Union line was broken at the "copse of trees," which was unquestionably the "high water mark" of the Civil War, for the tide had indeed turned; the incident is recorded upon the open pages of an immense bronze volume. It was here that Armistead and Cushing died side by side, in the thicket of the fight, and in a hand to hand combat.
