Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: Monument and Right Flank Marker Stone
Additional Description: The right flank marker stone has a small American flag next to it in this view. In the background is Big Round Top. The 16th Michigan was initially posted as the right flank of Vincent's Brigade. This open flank was exploited by Confederates, but held firm. When the 140th New York and other units arrived, they dressed on the 16th Michigan to extend the line further to the north along Little Round Top.
