Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 9, 2008
Caption: Looking South from the 19th Indiana Monument Location
Additional Description: This view across the fields immediately east of the Old Hagerstown Pike demonstrates the problems imposed by terrain on the combatants. Not more than fifty yards in front of the Brigade's advance was a blind spot due to the folds of the ridge line. The limit of the advance was just past the right most utility pole. In the distance on the right are the Maryland and New York State monuments further south. Between the Maryland Monument and the blind spot, Wofford's Confederate Brigade began their famous charge into the the Cornfield, that drove Gibbon's Brigade back to the Miller Farm.
