Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: August 24, 2008
Caption: Federal Left Flank
Additional Description: Looking from the ridge spur to the west. Ayres' Brigade of U.S. Regulars (the 3rd, 4th, 12th and 14th U.S. Infantry) came on line with Burbank's Brigade. Their advance came up through the low ground in the center distance here, and against Mahone's exposed right flank. However, Ayres' flank was then hanging out, unsupported. This view also demonstrates just how close the encroaching development has gotten to the battlefield area.
