Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: March 29, 2008
Caption: The 4th U.S. Infantry Advances up the Pike
Additional Description: Looking from Robertson Avenue, to the east, near the location of Tablet Number 86 (also for the 4th U.S. Infantry). The Pike is seen passing through the trees on the right side of the photo. The horse artillery occupied positions on the high ground in the distant center. The 4th U.S. advanced up from the low ground here to drive off Confederate skirmishers. However, the unit was exposed to fire from Confederate batteries placed on Cemetery Hill once they reached the high ground from where this photo was taken. The Newcomer House stood just off the Pike, on the center right of this photo.
