The fight for Culps Hill was short. Where was the
[XIICORPS]..???

Seminary Ridge now in tow, a push towards the town by
Pender. Anderson about to throw his weight into the
fight. Only a few cannon holding the town, could they
hold? Will the yankee go for the guns, or try to pull
back to Cemetery Hill....so many questions.

Early now on the attack south of the town......
