Stevens
Photographer: Brian Scott
Taken: September 23, 2015
Caption: Stevens' Battery Monument
Additional Description: During the fighting on July 1, the 5th Maine Battery moved its six guns north to this spot. Forced to withdraw, the unit nearly lost a gun when a wheel fell off the carriage, but prompt action by Capt. Greenleaf Stevens saved it. The battery's main monument is on Stevens Knoll, named after the 5th Maine's captain. (Guide to Gettysburg Battlefield Monuments by Tom Huntington)
