Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 9, 2008
Caption: East Half of the Cornfield
Additional Description: From a point about midway down Cornfield Avenue, looking to the north. The cornfield's historical boundary is to the north of the snake rail fence. As Law's Brigade advanced to the north here and the attack gained momentum, they struck the Federal lines to the east of the rock ledge that bisected the cornfield. One regiment of Wofford's Texas Brigade, the 5th Texas, supported Law's Brigade on the right (to the east). The rest of Wofford's Brigade attacked on the west side of the rock ledge. Thus the two brigade attacks in this phase of the battle were divided by the terrain.
