Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 9, 2008
Caption: Meade's division Advance - Left Flank
Additional Description: With Seymour's Brigade in the East Woods, Meade had two brigades on line to advance to fill the gap between Doubleday's and Ricketts' Divisions. Magilton's advanced south here, with an axis of advance aimed at the Dunker Church. On the right of this photo are the buildings of the D.R. Miller farm. In the far distance of this photo, the spire of the New York State Monument stands out next to the Visitors Center. Just below the monument can be seen one of the monuments on Cornfield Avenue. Magilton's Brigade reached a position about half way between the North Woods (foreground here) and that monument on Cornfield Avenue before moving into the East Woods, leaving a gap in the Federal lines.
