531. Digitized by Google l8^ BATTLE OF SECOND DAY 447 discouraged the troops; but not so much as it did to leave them to be slaughtered. ' Although Meade neg- lected this precaution, he showed skill and energy in reinforcing the line, and in directing the general course of the battle. Alexander says*: Meade saw the danger, and with military foresight pre- pared to meet it with every available man. There was not during the war a finer example of efficient military command than that displayed by ...Meade on this occasion. He immediately began to bring to the scene reinforce- ments, both of infantry and artillery, from every available corps and every part of his line. When Warren^ reached Little Round Top, he found it unoccupied except as a signal station. He realized, of course, that it was the key to the whole position. Great Round Top was higher; ^"l^* but its slopes were steep, and it was heavily Round Top. wooded. If the enemy should gain Little Round Top, they would not only take Siddes's new line in flank, but if they should plant their guns there, they would enfilade the line between that point and Cemetery Hill, and the troops defending it would have to change front.
