History at Gettysburg:
 
Long before dawn on July 2nd the division marched for Gettysburg, arriving on the field before daylight. They moved up the Baltimore Pike were posted to the west of the road behind Cemetery Hill. Late in the afternoon the division moved south, with the Second Brigade taking position in a strip of woods on the right of the Wheatfield and in front of Little Round Top with the 62nd Pennsylvania holding the left of the line.
Soon Confederates were discovered advancing through a ravine on the flank. The regiments were wheeled to the left and rear, forming three lines facing in the same direction and supporting each other. “The fighting became very warm, but as the brigade was favorably posted it easily held its ground, and kept the enemy at bay.” But the First Brigade was driven back, and the Second was soon in a critical situation.
Colonel Sweitzer was ordered to withdraw the brigade through the woods. It reformed along the Wheatfield Road north of the Wheatfield, at right angles to its former position. An hour later it once again advanced into the Wheatfield to the support of General Caldwell, hotly engaged in the wood beyond. But before they could cross the field the Caldwell’s men in the wood fell back, followed by large numbers of Confederates.
Colonel Sweitzer changed front to the right and a hand to hand struggle ensued. The enemy was along the road in the immediate rear of the brigade, the woods which surrounded the Wheatfield were filled with Confederates and every avenue of escape was cut off, with the men terribly exposed in the open. But the regiment kept a bold front and fired volley after volley as the lines moved diagonally across the field, crossed the stone fence in front of Little Round Top and reached the low ground which skirts the hill. At this point the Pennsylvania Reserves charged down on the enemy’s flank and threw them back in confusion, and the brigade was rescued.
The division was posted during the night along the stone wall at the foot of the hill, to the right of Little Round Top, where it remained until the close of the battle.
Casualties were heavy
The Second Brigade lost half of its 900 men. The 62nd Pennsylvania Infantry lost 4 officers and 24 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded, 10 officers and 40 enlisted men wounded, and 40 men captured or missing. As it marched away from Gettysburg the regiment could muster only about ninety men.
Major William G. Lowry, Captain Edwin H. Little of Company I, First Lieutenant Scott C. McDowell of Company G and Second Lieutenant Josiah P. Mouck of Company K were killed
Captain James Brown of Company A and First Lieutenant Patrick Morris of Company M were mortally wounded
Colonel Jacob Sweitzer (commanding the brigade) was wounded, and his horse was killed.
