Caption: West Side of the Stone Wall
Additional Description: From the Smith Brigade tablet, looking at the west side of Confederate Avenue. Note the Federal regimental monuments on the hill crest. Visible are those for the 107th New York and 1st Maryland Potomac Home Guard. During the evening phases of the fighting on July 2, Steuart's Brigade advanced a line outward and further up the hill into the Federal breastworks there. Later, after being pressed out of the works, the Brigade held a line extending to the north (right) of the wall at this point near the close of the fighting in this sector on July 3.
