The field of Pickett's Charge[5] is a Gettysburg Battlefield area over which the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg infantry attack of Longstreet's Assault advanced eastward across the Emmitsburg Road to Cemetery Ridge areas including The Angle where the high-water mark of the Confederacy is located. The majority of the field is the Codori Farm which remains farmland of the Gettysburg National Military Park and includes the land of the Bliss Farm which was burned during the battle and sold to the Codoris afterward.
The 1884-c. 1942 Round Top Branch railroad line was used over the field of Pickett's Charge southeastward across the intersection of the Emmitsburg Road and the 1894-1917 "Y of the trolly" (sic)[6] to Hancock Station on the east side of the field. The field also had several Gettysburg Battlefield camps after the American Civil War such as the 1902 Camp Lawton, the 1913 Gettysburg reunion with Great Tent and Round Top Branch platform, and Bvt Lt Col Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1918 Camp Colt commemorated with a "Memorial Pine Tree" ().
