Caption: The "Hot Corner" of the Cornfield
Additional Description: The northeast corner of the cornfield was heavily contested during the morning phase of the battle. The Brigade originally fronted the fence line on the left. In order to close upon Ricketts' Division in the East Woods (which stood in the distance beyond the green field), the Brigade had to shift left and change facing. The Brigade was in the process of changing orientation, moving by the left flank to face west or southwest, when part of Law's Confederate Brigade attacked.
