prominent family on the battlefield were the Roulettes who's farm was
located on the north side of Bloody Lane. Thousands of Union soldiers
marched on their farm as they moved south to attack the Confederate's

marched past the house, an artillery shell knocked over the hives. The Pennsylvanians were swarmed by lead bullets and angry bees. |
