[History Hounds] The 16th Michigan Infantry in the Civil War with Kim Crawford, Author

On July 2, 1863, at the climax of the struggle for a Pennsylvania hill called Little Round Top, four Confederate regiments charged up the western slope, attacking the smallest and most exposed of their Union foe: the 16th Michigan Infantry. In the dramatic interpretation of the struggle for Little Round Top that followed the Battle of Gettysburg, the 16th Michigan Infantry would be remembered as the one that broke during perhaps the most important turning point of the war.
