Caption: D.R. Jones' Line
Additional Description: Looking north on Branch Avenue. In the background on the left is Cemetery Hill. Garnett's Brigade defended on the east side (toward the center), with Jenkins' Brigade covering the south slope and the ravine. The cannon on the right side of the road approximate the position of Captain Brown's Wise (Va) Artillery. The battery was engaged from this position, dueling with Federal batteries on the east side of Antietam Creek, until around 1 p.m. when withdrawn to safer ground to the west.
