Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: July 24, 2008
Caption: Right Flank of the 16th Michigan
Additional Description: The 16th's right flank, represented here by a flank marker stone, was initially anchored here, but not tied into any supporting units. The Confederates forces moving up from the valley below were able to take advantage of this opening of the lines and gain some purchase on Little Round Top. Some in the 16th Michigan fell back to higher ground, but were rallied by Col. Strong Vincent. He received a mortal wound while urging the Michigan soldiers forward.
