Following the path of the 6th Florida Infantry, we visit key locations across the battlefield and break down what happened as these soldiers moved into combat. From staging positions to the chaos of the fight, we walk the same ground they did, bringing their experience to life.
The highlight of this journey takes us across Viniard Field, where the 6th Florida advanced into one of the most fiercely contested areas of the battle. Standing on this ground today, it’s hard to imagine the intensity of what unfolded here in 1863, but we do our best to show you.
