Caption: Furthest Advance of the Brigade
Additional Description: View from Wainwright Avenue, up Cemetery Hill, with the Cemetery Gate beyond the crest. Once turning west, the Brigade advanced against East Cemetery Hill. Avery's men encountered Von Gilsa's Federal Brigade along the Brickyard Lane (Now Wainwright Avenue). The North Carolina soldiers made some advances up the slope here, but they were caught in a cross fire of artillery. Some men reached the gates of the cemetery, but without reinforcements, could not hold.
