Caption: Toombs' Brigade Retreats
Additional Description: After forced away from Burnside Bridge and Snavely's Ford, Toombs' Brigade fell back through the Forty Acre Cornfield and the fields here, from right to left, west of Branch Avenue to a point aligned with Harpers Ferry Road. There the Brigade supported and was covered by several artillery batteries. Later, when A.P. Hill's Division pressured the Federal IX Corps, Toombs' Brigade joined in the pursuit and advanced back across the fields in the distance here.
