Shattered in battle north of the Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg, the battered and embarrassed unit ended the day hunkered at the crest of a cemetery-topped hill south of the village. Reinforcements fortified the position, which extended eastward to include another key piece of high ground, Culp's Hill. The Federal line also extended southward down Cemetery Ridge, forming what eventually became a long fishhook. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJuly 2 saw a massive Confederate attack against the southernmost part of the line. As the Southern juggernaut rolled inexorably northward, Federal troops shifted away from Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill to meet the threat. Just then, the Army of Northern Virginia's vaunted Second Corps launched itself at the weakened Federal right. The very men who, just the day before, broke the Union army resolved to break it once again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe ensuing struggle--every bit as desperate and with stakes every bit as high as the more-famous fight at Little Round Top on the far end of the line--left the entire Union position in the balance. \"Stay and fight it out,\" one Union general counseled. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConfederates were all too willing to oblige. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthors Chris Mackowski, Kristopher D.
