Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 9, 2008
Caption: North Woods
Additional Description: The North Woods stood to the south of the modern park road, Mansfield Avenue. At the time of the battle, this hill side was entirely covered by the thicket. To the north (behind the camera) is the Joseph Poffenberger Farm. Anderson's Brigade, minus the 10th Pennsylvania Reserves, advanced south. The regiments were arrayed with the 9th's right flank touching the Hagerstown Pike, the 11th was in the middle, and the 12th was on the left. When the three regiments pressed forward to the edge of the cornfield, they met the 1st Texas Regiment holding the flank of Wofford's Brigade.
