In 1862 HenrySpangler, who owned a farm on the Baltimore Pike purchased a house and farm located 400 yardswest of the Emmitsburg Pike, a mile south of Gettysburg. Originally built in 1822 by Spangler’s Fatherin law, George Plank, the house was also just a few hundred yard east of whatwould become the Confederate Line on July 2nd and 3rd1863.
Cadmus Wilcox’sBrigade, consisting of five Alabama regiments was a battle tested and cohesiveunit. The brigade had performed with distinction at Chancellorsville and cameto Gettysburg as part of Anderson’s Division with over 1700 effectivetroops. Early on July 2ndWilcox was ordered to form the right flank of the Confederate army and postedto the area near the Spangler Farm. Much of the area was below the view of Unionforces on Cemetery Ridge. At mid-day the10th and 11th Alabama had a brief but sharp encounterwith Federal troops in Pitzer’s Wood.That firefight was major influence in General Sickles’ ill-adviseddecision to move his line forward.
Later in the afternoonWilcox joined Longstreet’s eight brigades in precise echelon sequence. Here we see the 14th Alabamacrossing the yard of the Spangler house. In view behind are the 11thAlabama just south of Spangler Lane and the 10th Alabama further south.
Also to the south is the Staub house and barnand smoke from confederate batteries located on Warfield ridge.
Wilcox’sattack overwhelmed the Union forces on the Emmitsburg Pike. When the Alabamans pushed forward into the Plum Run swale theyfaced the near suicidal charge of the 1st Minnesota. Combined with alack of support from Anderson’s other Brigades the attack stalled and the Brigade was forced back across the Pike.With further losses suffered during an ill fated supporting move the next daythe brigade suffered more than 40% casualties during the 3 day battle.
