Taken: June 28, 2008
Caption: Gordon's Brigade Advances
Additional Description: From a point just east of Barlow Knoll, looking back to the high ground occupied by Barlow's Division. The Georgians advanced on the east side of Rock Creek, screened by the trees in the bottom land there. When Gordon's men emerged from the woods, they advanced up the slope here. They overran the crest of the knoll, seen from here by the flagpole in the center. But it is important to note the Federal units did not immediately fall into disorder. One Georgia private wrote, "We had a hard time moving them."
