Andy Papen

Presents:

Battle of Champion's Hill
It's remembered as the battle the North needed to win to achieve ultimate victory and as the battle the South needed to win if the Confederacy was to survive.

Andy will review the battle history of the struggle and hear why as General Hovey said in his Official Report, "It was literally a hill of death."

Read a brief Description of the Battle.
