The 59th New York in the West Woods
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: March 29, 2008
Caption: The 59th New York in the West Woods
Additional Description: The 59th New York advanced through the West Woods, to a point near here, along a service road, just east of the modern Hagerstown Pike bypass. Due to terrain and changes to unit facings, the 59th was actually the left most unit in an exposed flank. Near this point, Early's Confederate Brigade hit the left side of the 59th, precipitating a disaster for Sedgwick's Federals.
