| During
the opening infantry phase of the battle of Gettysburg;
General John. Fulton. Reynolds; a native Pennsylvanian
in command of the Union Army's "Left Wing"
oversaw the placement of the first infantry and artillery
troops to come up and engage the Confederates. Reynolds
along with Union Cavalry General John Buford chose Gettysburg
as the place to make a stand. As the 2nd Wisconsin Infantry
of Solomon Meredith's famed Western “Iron Brigade”
came up Reynolds personally led the Wisconsin men into
McPherson's Woods in order to engage James J. Archer's
Confederates who were only yards away. As General Reynolds
halted momentarily to turn and check on the progress
of his other troops, he was struck in the back of the
neck by a bullet and killed. Reynolds, a rising star
in the Union Army was the highest-ranking Federal officer
to be killed in the battle.
