THE SOUTH: The Army of Northern Virginia concentrates in the Gettysburg area, then, screened by its cavalry, moves south on July 3rd. The advance is by the left flank. The axis of advance will be through Manchester and then on to Westminster. The hope is to break the Union line at what is expected to be its weakest point, and flank the strong defensive terrain of Parr's Ridge. While confidence is high, a tough fight is expected, as all intelligence indicates the northern army is massed along Big Pipe Creek and it has had plenty of time to organize its position. By mid morning on the 4th the army approaches the Union line and the fight is on. THE NORTH: The army deploys and has plenty of time to dig in along Big Pipe Creek. The front is very long, but features good defensive terrain supplemented by extensive field works. One corps is deployed on the left as a reserve. Early on July 4th pickets report masses of infantry and cavalry approaching. The fight is joined.
