I was born on July 2nd 1980 at 430pm. Was curious to what was going on around that time frame? Was LRT still going on, or had that settled down by then.

If I'm not mistaken the battle started about that time or a little later. Thanks to Longstreet dragging his feet and counter marching.

I think it was around 4:00 p.m. when Longstreet's assault began.
