Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: Bushman Hill
Additional Description: Looking from near the high ground near the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Memorial to the east. The Third Cavalry Division Tablet and the 18th Pennsylvania Memorial can just be seen through the trees on Bushman hill (just above the curve of the road in the center). When Farnsworth's Brigade was ordered to assault the Confederate lines in the afternoon of July 3, the 1st West Virginia, 18th Pennsylvania, and portions of the 5th New York Cavalry Regiments attacked over the open ground this side of the tree line, toward a stone wall to the left, just out of frame. The wall was held by the 1st Texas Infantry. The attack was repulsed, and failed to provide support to the 1st Vermont's charge further east.
