Caption: Hays' Brigade Moves into Position
Additional Description: In the early morning hours of the battle, Hays' Brigade crossed the pike in this vicinity and passed across the fields to take position south of the Cornfield. The white building in the distance is a modern house at the intersection of Cornfield Avenue and Smoketown Road. The Brigade moved about half way between the camera's point and the location of that house before turning north and forming between Lawton's Brigade (commanded by Col. Douglass) and Trimble's Brigade (commanded by Col. J.A. Walker).
