118th Pennsylvaniaon Stony Hill
The 118th had one of themore unusual nicknames in the Civil War.They were known as the “Corn Exchange Regiment” due to their monetarysponsorship by the Philadelphia Corn Exchange. The Exchange paid the volunteer’sbounty and other expenses involving the creation of the Regiment.
The 118th took heavylosses at Shepardstown and was heavily engaged at Fredericksburg andChancellorsville. At Gettysburg the CornExchange served in Colonel William Tilton’s tiny (655 men in four regiments)Brigade in Barnes Division, V corps.
The V corps arrived at Gettysburgearly on the 2nd of July, 1863.Starting in reserve, as fighting started in the area of the III corps,it was moved to the southern part of the Union position. Along the way Strong Vincent’s Brigade waspeeled off to assist on Little Round Top and the remaining two brigades of Barnes’s division continued to another rockyeminence located on George Rose’s farm just west of a large and soon to beinfamous Wheatfield. There a rocky knollfronted a small woodlot between the Wheatfield and several open fields next toSherfy’s Peach Orchard. General Sickles of the III created a large salient atthe Peach Orchard but to its left the area was weakly defended.
Directly in front of the 118thwas a narrow gap in Rose’s woodlot containing a small run and a farm road. Prior to the 118th’s arrivalConfederates of “Tige” Anderson had attacked from the woods closer to theWheatfield but had been repulsed. It was clear more were coming as more Confederateranks could be seen crossing the Emmitsburg Road behind the Rose House.
This scene shows the 7thSouth Carolina (left) and 3rd South Carolina of Kershaw’s Brigade attackingStony Hill. The 118th held firm for a time Lt. Colonel James Gwynnrefused back the right of his line to cover an overlap by the Southerners.
Colonel Tilton, new to Brigadecommand, lost his nerve. The left wing of Kershaw’s Brigade had passed far tothe right on the 118th.Tilton did not know they had been battered by Union Artillery on theWheatfield Road. With Barnes’s consent both brigades pulled off Stony Hill to aposition behind the Wheatfield Road.With that Kershaw’s men swept across woodlots and started to move intothe Wheatfield.\"OUTSTANDING E-BAYER!!!!!!!,Fast Delivery,Great Product,Highly Recommended,AAA+++\"\"Quality picture and frame equal satisfied customer.\"
