Spangler's Spring Area

Spangler's Spring is a natural spring southeast of Gettysburg on the south base of Culp's Hill. At times during the batlle it was held by each side, and for a time was between the lines. Legends developed that local truces were called during the night of July 2nd where both sides allowed the other to pass safely to the spring to fill their canteens, but there are also documented instances of fighting around the spring during this time.
