Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 9, 2008
Caption: Garnett's Skrimish Line
Additional Description: With artillery supporting them from the hill now occupied by the National Cemetery (the wall of which is seen in the background), portions of Garnett's Brigade advanced forward in skirmish order across the corn field which stood in the foreground here. The 8th and 18th Virginia lead the Confederate advance into the fields. In this little studied section of the battlefield, a very spirited fight developed.
