Many of the Confederate rounds overshot their targets and landed around General Meade's headquarters along the Taneytown Road. In these woods, over 12,000 men from North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, Alabama, and Mississippi were preparing to step out and advance toward Cemetery Ridge. | Civil Warscapes | Facebook
