Taken: November 8, 2008
Caption: The 4th Maine Recapture Smith's Guns
Additional Description: Looking from the top of Devil's Den to the north at the ground behind Smith's guns (out of frame to the left). Col. Walker, seeing Smith's battery about to be overrun, and without waiting for orders, pulled back from his advance refuse position. He then ordered a "right oblique" and charged to the top of the ridge. The assault drove back portions of the 1st Texas Infantry and, temporarily at least, recaptured Smith's guns. The monument atop the ridge here is the 99th Pennsylvania.
