Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: August 16, 2008
Caption: 149th Pennsylvania Infantry Lines
Additional Description: The 149th held a line, facing north, along the Chambersburg Pike, during the mid-day phase of the first day of battle. The "official" flank markers are seen here along the road, with the left flank in the foreground and the right flank beyond the ravine in the background. This position was in a "vice" formed by the advance of two Confederate Brigades - Daniel's from the north and Brockenbrough's from the west.
