Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: Gibb's Battery View of Day's Hill
Additional Description: Looking from near the monument at Day's Hill. The white stones of the U.S. Regulars' tablets stand on the profile of the hill. As the Regulars retreated, Gibb's men waved and prompted the infantry to take cover and lay down. Some of the regulars later recalled hiding behind boulders as canister from the Ohio battery flew overhead to pause the Confederate pursuit.
