Hazlett’s Battery at 160
With the 160th Anniversary of the final day of the Battle of Gettysburg today, comes the news from the West Point Museum, which, in conjunction with the Gettysburg National Military Park and the American Battlefield Trust, made a return to Little Round Top with a pair of relics, at least for the day.
We had the honor of returning the West Point Battery’s, aka “Hazlett’s Battery,” [Battery D of the 5th United States Artillery] guidon and Brig. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren’s field glasses to their locations on Little Round Top for the first time since the battle.”
