A Panoramic View Of The Battlefield
Photographer: Bryan Olson
Taken: May 2007
Caption: A Panoramic View Of The Battlefield
Additional Description: From here you have a panoramic view of the battlefield from the British perspective. On the far left, Col. Robert Rennie’s attack reached and briefly overran the American rampart. On the right, Gibbs’s men met disaster near the edge of the swamp. In the center of the field murderous artillery and small-arms fire mowed down the Highlanders. General Pakenham rode past here to inspire his troops for new assaults. (NPS)
