I wanted to make use of the vast amounts of expertise on this forum!! My wife's great, great, great grandfather's nephew, Lt. Crocket East, Company K, 19th Indiana Infantry, was killed July 1, 1863. We have included a transcribed copy of a letter his friend and fellow soldier sent home to a mutual lady friend. It tells of the events of that terrible day.
Based on the description in the letter, can you experts help me pinpoint where Crocket was killed? My wife and I would like to visit that spot one day. We have been to Gettysburg several times, twice in the last 4 years, and researched what we think, but I am so astounded by the depth of knowledge on this forum, I would like your interpretation of where it actually happened. I welcome your thoughts.
