From the American Battlefield Trust July 2021 calendar.
GETTYSBURG, PA.
1,183 acres saved.
On the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Confederates under Gen. John B. Gordon attacked the position of Brig. Gen. Francis Barlow's division of the Union's Eleventh Corps on a small rise known as Barlow's Knoll.
In 2020, the Trust commemorated the anniversary of the 1863 battle by transferring 35 acres at Barlow's Knoll to the National Park Service as a permanent addition to the Gettysburg National Military Park.
A photograph of Barlow's Knoll by Noel Kline accompanied the month.
