Notations for Morgan
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: August 30, 2010
Caption: Notations for Morgan's Woods and Oberson's Fields
Additional Description: Morgan's Woods
Dense, tangled undergrowth, confused the advance of four Confederate regiments moving to get behind the Union line. From 2:00 p.m. to sunset, combat here was at close-range, chaotic, demoralizing, and deadly.
Oberson's Cornfield
By early afternoon the two armies formed their main battle lines and grappled over a 400-yard-wide cornfield.
