Many of theUnion troops were on all night forced marches from various outlying areas.
By dawn on July 2 Meade had his Army strengthened by the road weary soldiers.
None the less the Union positions ran from Culp’s Hill west to Cemetery Hill then south along Cemetery Ridge to the rise of Little Round Top.
This line of positions formed the famous “fish hook” This would be the line of Yankees Lees Rebels would face on that hot dusty day.
