McPherson Ridge
McPherson Ridge is a landform used for military engagements during the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, First Day, when the I Corps (Union Army) had a headquarters on the ridge and was defeated by the Confederate division of Major General Henry Heth. The ridge has terrain above ~ and is almost entirely a federally protected area except for township portions at the southern end and along Pennsylvania Route 116, including a PennDOT facility. The northern end is a slight topographic saddle point on the west edge of Oak Ridge, and summit areas above include 4 on/near the Lincoln Highway, a broader summit south of the Fairfield Road, and the larger plateau at the northern saddle.〔 (The terrain map shows the summits and unprotected areas, and the barn's coordinates are the significant digits from the 4 corners' "ll=" lat/lon values in Google hyperlinks.)〕
==History==
In 1747, the Nichol's Gap Road ()() (later "Hagerstown Road", now Fairfield Road) was built over the ridge,〔 NOTE: Initial (Nichol's Gap Road ) buildings east and west of the ridge included the 1761 Samuel Gettys Tavern (Rock Creek) and the 1812 Black Horse Tavern (Marsh Creek).〕 followed by the road on the north that became the 1809 turnpike from Gettysburg to (Black's Gap ) (extended to Chambersburg in 1810). In 1835, (Middle Ridge ) had the middle of three 1835 railway cuts (cf. Herr Ridge & Seminary Ridge) excavated for the Tapeworm Railroad. In the 1850s, the Old Mill Road across the ridge had been established northwest from the Hagerstown Road past the J. Herbst farm along Willoughby Run.〔 During the 1858 Hopkins survey, the "H. Dustman" farm was on the ridge along the turnpike's south side and east of the "(Toll Gate" ), while along Willoughby Run on the ridge's west slope and north of the railway bed were the farms of "Heirs of Wm McPherson" & "J. B. McPherson". After moving back to Gettysburg in 1856, attorney Edward McPherson inherited a farm in 1858 which had by 1863.() On June 30, 1863, John Buford's Union cavalry camped east of the ridge prior to the Battle of Gettysburg.
;Battle of Gettysburg: On July 1, 1863, at ~8 am, Buford's 3,200 dismounted cavalrymen held the ridge until 10:30 am against 7,000 Confederates until the arrival of the 1 Corps infantry.() After the Union forces retreated to Seminary Ridge, 2 companies of the 55th Virginia Infantry attacked the "large barn in which many of the Yankees took refuge. … An officer standing in the door of the barn, when ordered to surrender by Major Lauson, refused";〔 and after the barn was captured it was used as a field hospital.()
In 1869,〔 a "Horse Railway" was built over the ridge from the borough station, ()〔 (The Davis 1875 illustration also appeared without identification in Bachelder's 1878 (''Gettysburg: What to See and How to See It''.) )〕 and in 1884 the steamtrain railroad was extended westward through the railway cut (a 1902 plan to extend the electric trolley over the ridge was not implemented.)() A Pennsylvania bill passed in 1885 for the 1886 John F. Reynolds monument in Herbst Woods erected by "Post No. 9, G.A.R." In 1887, Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association Director Edward McPherson acted as the agent for (Samuel A. Whitney ), who sold on the ridge for a GBMA avenue,〔 and the 1887 "Iron Platt Truss Bridge" over the railway cut was built by the Gilbert and Smith Foundry for the "First Day's Avenue".〔 The ridge's modern name was used as early as 1892—in Minnigh's ''(What They Did Here )'' ("West Reynolds Avenue, McPherson Ridge")()—and in a newspaper by The Sun for a 1913 Gettysburg reunion report.()
