Photographer: Craig Swain
Caption: Pegram's Battalion Field of Fire
Additional Description: Through most of July 2 and 3, the five batteries of Pegram's Battalion stood on the edge of McMillan Woods looking to the east at Cemetery Ridge. In this view, from left to right, the key points are the white buildings of the Brian Farm, General Meade's equestrian statue, the "Copse of Trees," the spire of the U.S. Regulars Monument, the domed Pennsylvania Monument, and the the red Codori Farm house. Federal batteries at a stone wall, the section known as "the Angle," between the Meade statue and the Copse of Trees received considerable attention from the Confederate gunners on July 3.
