McDougall
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: September 17, 2008
Caption: McDougall's Brigade Position on July 3
Additional Description: From near the 33rd Wisconsin Monument, looking west. McDougall's Brigade was posted in this open field on the morning of July 3, in position to contain any advance of the Confederate forces while Colgrove's Brigade attempted to reoccupy the Federal breastworks on the lower crest of Culp's Hill. While tree growth since the battle and residential buildings have blocked the views, in 1863 the Federals here had a clear view of the lower slope and Spangler's Meadow.
