Looking South from the Crest of Fisher
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: December 1, 2007
Caption: Looking South from the Crest of Fisher's Hill
Additional Description: Brig. Gen. Cullen Battle's Alabama Brigade was posted in this vicinity to check the Federal flanking attacks. While this stopped the first wave of Federal attacks, Division Commander General Ramseur realized the need to extend the lines and ordered a North Carolina brigade under Brig. Gen. William R. Cox to move there. Cox's brigade ended up marching to the wrong location and thus left the Confederate flank exposed.
