The XII Corps defended the eastern and southern slopes of both hills. It was Gen. Greene who convinced Gen Geary to dig entrenchments along the military crest of the hills. The rest of the XII Corps also dug in. Greene had ordered that every man would carry an axe, pick and shovel in 1862 so that entrenchments and breastworks could be erected to save lives. Although the entrenchments were not used to full satisfaction at Chancellorsville due to the XI Corps' rout, the breastworks and traverse were most useful at Gettysburg.

While he did have his men dig works, to the dismay of Geary, the actual person who started the whole process was Rufes Dawes of the 6th Wisconsin. When his men took their position on the more northern side of Culp's Hill, he had his men dig in and were lucky enough to have their wagontrain close enough for them to procure digging tools. After his regiment was done the 7th Indiana also began this process, and the 12th Corps, which fell in line to the right of the 7th, then too followed suit.

David Ireland and his 137th NYVI have once again been left in the dust, so to speak. The 137th, holding the far right of the Union line, performed and did as much, if not more, than the 20th Maine on the far right, including bayonet charges, and were the real saviors of the Union line.
