Just to the west and up above the Devil's Den there is a spot called Triangilar field.Not mentioned to much in history or even shown on many maps this field played a great role in the battle.
The fight to take Devils Den began here, in the Triangular Field, around 4 pm on July 2, the second day of battle at Gettysburg.
The near ground was held by Union troops, and the vista to the rear concealed the arriving brigades of Confederate General Hood.
In a series of attacks and counter-attacks that lasted over two hours, the Union position was ultimately crushed and held by the Confederates.
When visiting Devil's Den make sure to walk the "Hidden Trail" down the slope of Triangular Field. What are people saying about This site!
