Taken: November 8, 2008
Caption: Position of the 6th New Jersey
Additional Description: Looking south down Crawford Avenue toward the monument (next to the trees to the right of the road). The 6th moved south down the valley to reinforce Ward's Brigade in the Devil's Den sector. Arriving, the New Jersey troops deployed behind the rock formation seen past the monument where the trees stand. At that point, with the ridge on their right, the 40th New York on their left, and two guns of Smith's Battery providing support, the 6th New Jersey was in a very envious position. Their losses were lower than any other regiment deployed in this sector of the battlefield.
