   At Spangler's Meadow near Culp's Hill Johnson's men fought with the 2nd Mass. and the 27th Indiana, and they charged the Confederates on the morning of July 3 and suffered tremendous losses. While the battle was raging around of Culp's Hill, there was also severe fighting at the southern end near Spangler's Spring. A passage from a diary wrote: Night of July 2: "It seems Captain Selfridge of Company H had taken some of his men's canteens and gone on ahead to Spangler's Spring to fill them, when he discovered "Johnnies" also there filling their canteens." 48th PA.
