JosephSherfy’s farm gained historic notice as the location of the Peach Orchard. Sherfy grew not only fruit but other crops includinga field of wheat located south of hisbarn. Though this wheat field is not nearly as famous as that of hisneighbor’s, George Rose, it was the scene of desperate fighting.
The 114th Pennsylvania Regimentwas one of several units at Gettysburg to utilize a variation of the Zouaveuniform. Sometimes know as Collis’sZouaves, they were formed by a Philadelphia lawyer, who started the war as avolunteer private.
The114th came to Gettysburg as part of Charles Graham’s Brigade ofSickles’ III corps. After Graham’s Brigade was ordered to the Peach Orchardarea the 114th spent several hours near the Wentz house on the westside of the Emmitsburg Road. From 3:30 on they were subject to the artilleryattack against the Union Batteries nearby.Just after 6:00 PM when Barksdale’s brigade emerged out the wood to thewest Captain George Randolph of Sickles’ Artillery Corps came up to CaptainBowen. Lt. Colonel Cavada and GeneralGraham were not available, and Randolph asked Bowen if the 114thcould move to protect the several Union batteries, which were highly vulnerableto Barksdale’s attack. Bowen agreed andordered the 114th forward across the Emmitsburg road and into thewheat field south of the Sherfy Barn.
In any event this was an aggressivemove. Barksdale had 1600 men moving briskly toward the Peach Orchard and the114th had only started the day with 259 men. The encounter was brief and bloody. The 114thlost 95 men killed or wounded and due to their forward exposure 60 men werecaptured. One result of the 114th’s action is clear. Not one of the40 federal cannon in the Peach Orchard area was captured there.
The scene above is the left flank ofthe 114th as they cleared the Union Batteries. The Sherfy cannery,house and barn are visible in the background
