| | | 10. 30th Pennsylvania Infantry Position | | Looking down Ayres Avenue at the Monument. The regiment held a line here for most of July 3, before advancing into the Wheatfield late in the afternoon. Depending on how one interprets the first hand accounts, the Pennsylvanians drove the Confederates out, or pursued them as they withdrew on their own. | | |
