Welcome to another episode of "Ask A Gettysburg Guide"! In this installment (#105), we delve into the contributions of Orland Smith's Brigade from the Eleventh Corps during the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg. Join LBG Stu Dempsey as he guides us through the historic grounds that hold so many untold stories.
Stu shines a light on the often-overlooked action on historic ground that has since been erased by the Colt Park housing development. This area, now referred to as "Smith's Ridge," was the site where President Richard Nixon's grandfather was mortally wounded, courageously defending our nation against the treasonous Confederacy. Though considered an area where only skirmishing took place, the skirmishing was heavier than normal and the casualty rates show it.
