abstract
  • The battle of East Cemetery Hill was a Battle of Gettysburg, Second Day, military engagement in which the Louisiana Tigers Brigade and Hoke's Brigade of Confederates attacked, and were repelled by, the Harris and von Gilsa brigades of the XI Corps (Union Army) plus reinforcements. The site is on Cemetery Hill's east-northeast slope, east of the summit of the Baltimore Pike. Confederate General Robert E. Lee assigned Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell's Second Corps to launch a demonstration (military) against the Union right to distract the Army of the Potomac during Longstreet's attack to the south-southwest (Hood's Assault, McLaws' Assault, and Anderson's assault). Ewell was to exploit any success his demonstration might achieve by following up with a full-scale attack at his discretion. Preceded by a 4 p.m. artillery barrage from Benner Hill, the demonstration's infantry attack commenced with Johnson's Assault on Culp's Hill. The Union artillery lunettes on East Cemetery Hill provided protection from the barrage, and the counterbattery fire on Ewell's 4 batteries forced them to withdraw with heavy casualties (e.g., Major Joseph W. Latimer).
