David:

Glad to hear from you. The Alabama-at-Gettysburg concept rather appeals to me. As for Hardaway, "Confederate Monuments at Gettysburg" will provide the text for that battery. I gave my copy to Harry -- he should be able to use it during his excursions to Pennsylvania.

My ancestor Belton Pitts served in that battery all the way to Appomattox. During a spring vacation I convinced my parents to leave Washington and visit Gettysburg in search of markers for "Grandpa" Belton's guns. You may recall that the battery included one or two Whitworth rifles, which had the range to reach any point along the Union line. I believe this command was stationed on Oak Hill or a nearby point along Seminary Ridge during the July 3rd bombardment.

I have a faded photograph of a battery marker from our visit. The shot was taken facing towards Cemetery Hill. However, I wasn't able to clear away all the snow and ice from its silver surface and red letters that day. Perhaps someone else has the text.
