Alan, thanks for posting this very useful account, which helps fix the 9th Alabama's position in its charge across the field at Gettysburg. The other point of reference is the 11th Alabama on the 9th's right, which was assailed by the 1st Minnesota near Plum Run. This kind of information is particularly important to those of us preparing detailed battle maps. Evidently the 9th and the rest of the brigade bore toward the left after crossing the Emmitsburg Road, in close pursuit of the retreating Federals. Regards, Tom
