Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: July 6, 2008
Caption: The East Angle
Additional Description: Looking from the trail path, from the direction of the Federal attack, toward the earthworks of the East Angle. The Confederate defenders had arranged the initial trenches at night, conforming to the existing woodlines. The resultant line formed a bulge of sorts, which offered many blind spots and was vulnerable to Federal attack. However, once the line was laid, Confederate commanders were reluctant to give up the ground, particularly high ground around the McCoull house.
