List of brigades of the Confederation Army at the Battle of Gettysburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of the brigades of the Army of the Confederacy in the Battle of Gettysburg is a listing of those 37 Infantry - Brigade that the pages on Northern Virginia Army at the Battle of Gettysburg took part from July 1 to July 3. 1863

The list contains the assignment of the brigades to divisions and corps , their structure, crew strengths before and after the battle, information about the losses that have occurred and the approximate arrival of the respective unit on the battlefield. This information does not include military units at division and corps level, such as the division artillery.

From the table it can be seen that the greatest losses occurred in the brigade of Alfred Iverson junior (Rodes's Division, II Corps). On the first day of the battle in the northern apron of the city, this unit had made an uncoordinated attack on a fortified position of the Union Army, without having informed it beforehand, and was wiped out in the process. The units following this brigade on the casualty list were all participants in the July 3-casualty attack ( Pickett's Charge ) on the center of the Union Army.
