And the focus of Pickets Charge is the center breaks or The Angle in the union line at the tree? The place where Armitage goes over with his hat held high on his sword but dies just on the other side of the stone fence? That tree is still there at Gettysburg. One magnificent sunset with no one nearby at all Bill and his boys crossed the mile of wildflower and long grass fields from Seminary Ridge. They climbed over the fence at the Emmitsburg Road and aimed for the tree up the slope. For them it is a magnificent tree and an amazing holy place.
