Tyndale
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 9, 2008
Caption: Tyndale's Brigade Holds the Line
Additional Description: From the Maryland State monument looking east down the Smoketown Road (on the left side of photo). As Sedgwick's Division was driven out of the West Woods, Tyndale's Brigade was a cornerstone of a Federal defensive line which prevented the entire sector from collapsing. Supported by artillery, the Brigade held along what amounted to a reverse slope defense between what is today the Maryland and New York State monuments. The Brigade's right flank was placed in the foreground here.
