Caption:
The 54th New York in the West Woods | Additional Description: The 54th 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 54th was actually the left most unit in an exposed flank. Near this point, Early's Confederate Brigade hit the left side of the 54th, precipitating a disaster for Sedgwick's Federals.
