Question: July 2, 1863. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The Union troops are protecting the high ground from attacking Confederate soldiers. One of the keys to commanding the battlefield and the battle, is a little hill known as Little Round Top. Because Union troops are spread out over so much space and communication is chaotic, one regiment is assigned with protecting the hill against nearly an entire Confederate division.
What was the name or the regiment and its commanding officer?
