The Left Wing of Howard
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: March 29, 2008
Caption: The Left Wing of Howard's Brigade
Additional Description: The 69th and 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry entered the central portion of the West Woods at a section fronting the Hagerstown Pike (present day Dunker Church Road). In the background is the Dunker Church. With the powerful Confederate attack into the woods turning the Federal flank, both regiments fell back initially to positions just south of the cornfield. Note the pedestals for two War Department tablets along the road. These were taken down for maintenance in the winter of 2008.
