The Monuments and Memorials of the Gettysburg Campaign
Rodes’ Brigade
One of five infantry brigades in Rodes’s Division of Ewell’s Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. This was originally Rodes’s Brigade.
Commander: Col. Edward A. O’Neal (September 20, 1818 – November 7, 1890). Alabamian; pre-war judge, post-war governor of Alabama. His promotion to general was cancelled by Lee, probably for his lack of performance at Gettysburg.
