Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 9, 2008
Caption: The Cornfield Avenue
Additional Description: The Cornfield Avenue is lined with monuments and war department tablets. The Wofford's Brigade tablet is the first in line on the right side of the road. This section of the battlefield was heavily contested. The road here is a modern addition. The boundary of the cornfield actually angled to the north (to the left of the photo) of the road. The 5th Texas, alone among the Brigade, was detached to the far right flank of Hood's Division. Their route passed down the Smoketown Road and into the East Woods to a point near the Mansfield Monument.
