Alonzo Cushing's battery
"Look, General Lee, at the insurmountable difficulties between our line and that of the Yankees-the steep hills, the tiers of artillery, the fences, the heavy skirmish line-and then we’ll have to fight our infantry against their batteries. Look at the ground well have to charge over, nearly a mile of that open ground there under the rain of their canister and shrapnel."
-General James Longstreet, First Corps Commander, Army of Northern Virginia
