Additional Description: Looking north from the marker location toward the small village of Heidlersburg. According to John Schildt in Roads to Gettysburg, Confederate Generals Ewell, Early, Trimble, and Rodes had a conference just outside of Heidlersburg on June 30, 1863. Ewell, the corps commander, had just received orders from Confederate General Robert E. Lee indicating the far flung army should now consolidate near a town called Gettysburg to the south.
