Harry Hays' Louisiana Tigers got up to Cemetery Hill on the 1st, but they were not at all properly supported. Doles' Georgians were ordered to sit in place for over two hours, and they could have taken Culps Hill, or set up a blocking position between the remnants of the Yankee I Corps and Cemetery Hill.
The problem wasn't the high ground, it was the wasted opportunity.
