Caption: Branch's Brigade Arrives on the Battlefield
Additional Description: Branch's Brigade advanced from the south, almost directly on the left flank of the advancing Federals from Rodman's Division of the IX Corps. This view looks southeast from the tablet location. The Brigade advanced over the spur in the background, and continued northward across the foreground. Around the time of Branch's mortal wounding, the Brigade turned to the east and dressed onto the stone wall, somewhat on line with the modern day Branch Avenue.
