Big Round Top
Welcome to Big Round Top.... ..
On July 2nd, 1863, At approximately 6 PM, Colonel William Oates led his 15th Alabama Regiment up the southwest face of this hill, his progress contested by a company of Colonel Hiram Berdan’s US Sharpshooters using repeating rifles. Because of their rate of fire, Oates was convinced he was facing a regiment. Just before gaining the summit, Oates “phantom regiment” disappeared. From the summit, Oates could peer out a bit to the northeast, and see a rather large wagon train sitting just off the Taneytown Road, about three quarters of a mile away. He moved his regiment down the hill, in an attempt to get to the wagons. Before he could reach them, however, his men came under fire on their left from the 20th Maine under Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.
During this investigation of Big Round Top, very little activity was noted and no positive "EVP" activity was collected. The NJGR organization will be returning to Big Round Top in the future and if any positive data is collected, it will be posted for review as soon as possible.
