Caption: 3rd Delaware Defends the Northeast Corner of the West Woods
Additional Description: The 3rd Delaware, reduced in number from a hard season of campaigning, defended this sector of the West Woods as Sedgwick's Division was falling back to the Cornfield. In this view, looking north from near the monument location, the West Woods are on the left. On the right distance are the New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Indiana State Monuments, and the 124th Pennsylvania Monument at the southwest corner of the Cornfield. Starke Avenue runs from left to right in the distance. The Regiment conducted a fighting retreat "in good order" to the northeast, over what is now Starke Avenue, toward the high ground north of the Cornfield.
