Caption: Collapse of the Confederate Line
Additional Description: Looking to the south from the marker. At the time of the battle this rise was heavily wooded. With three surges, Crawford managed to drive Garnett's Brigade back. In the course of these attacks, the Federal brigade had turned ninety degrees and then began advancing to the east on Crittenden Lane. As a result, the Confederate artillery in the area of the gate limbered and retreated. In addition the Confederate brigades of Taliaferro (who was now commanding Winder's Division) and Early were forced to fall back, lest they too be flanked by Crawford.
