Both A.P. Hill and "Henry" Heath were Confederate Generals..and both were at Gettysburg...Federal General Reynolds was moving forward on the 1st Day..leading a group that included the Iron Brig. ( Known as the Black Hats as they wore the "Hardee Hat" instead of the more comfortable Kepi) He was shot and killed..the area is known as Reynolds Woods. Just found this..
"He was struck down as he tried to rally his men of the First Corps' Iron Brigade and support General Buford's outnumbered cavalry who valiantly fought against determined, advancing Confederate forces. Dying instantly."
