Caption: 5th Ohio Infantry at Pardee Field
Additional Description: Looking from the center of Pardee Field toward the Monument (in the center beside Geary Avenue). On the morning of July 3, the 5th Ohio advanced with the 147th Pennsylvania (small monument seen on the left side of this photo) to the edge of the field. The regiments were ordered to fire volleys into what appeared to be empty woods. Within a few moments their volleys were answered by fire from Steuart's Confederate Brigade occupying the works on the lower crest of Culp's Hill.
