Sherfy grew not only fruit but other crops including a field of wheat located south of his barn. Though this wheat field is not nearly as famous as that of his neighbor’s, George Rose, it was the scene of desperate fighting. The 114th Pennsylvania Regiment was one of several units at Gettysburg to utilize a variation of the Zouave uniform. Sometimes know as Collis’s Zouaves, they were formed by a Philadelphia lawyer, who started the war as a volunteer private. The 114th came to Gettysburg as part of Charles Graham’s Brigade of Sickles’ III corps. After Graham’s Brigade was ordered to the Peach Orchard area the 114th spent several hours near the Wentz house on the west side of the Emmitsburg Road. From 3:30 on they were subject to the artillery attack against the Union Batteries nearby. Just after 6:00 PM when Barksdale’s brigade emerged out the wood to the west Captain George Randolph of Sickles’ Artillery Corps came up to Captain Bowen. Lt. Colonel Cavada and General Graham were not available, and Randolph asked Bowen if the 114th could move to protect the several Union batteries, which were highly vulnerable to Barksdale’s attack. Bowen agreed and ordered the 114th forward across the Emmitsburg road and into the wheat field south of the Sherfy Barn. In any event this was an aggressive move. Barksdale had 1600 men moving briskly toward the Peach Orchard and the 114th had only started the day with 259 men. The encounter was brief and bloody. The 114th lost 95 men killed or wounded and due to their forward exposure 60 men were captured. One result of the 114th’s action is clear. Not one of the 40 federal cannon in the Peach Orchard area was captured there. The scene above is the left flank of the 114th as they cleared the Union Batteries. The Sherfy cannery, house and barn are visible in the background 12” x 20” signed Limited Edition Print (100) with certificate of authenticity Just some of the feedback for Gettysburg Diographs.
