Caption: Stone's Brigade Struck by Daniel's Brigade
Additional Description: Looking west at Chambersburg Pike from a point just north of the 143rd Pennsylvania Monument. Stone's Brigade was arrayed with the 143rd Pennsylvania between what is today Reynold's Avenue and the low ground near where the red truck is seen on the Pike. The 149th Pennsylvania were in line to their left. Initially the 150th Pennsylvania was on a line facing west along what is today Stone Avenue, but wheeled out along the Pike to face north. Note the McPherson Barn in the left background. In the afternoon phase of the fighting at Gettysburg, element's of Daniel's Confederate Brigade, Rodes' Division, advanced from the right of this view, catching Stone's Brigade in a "vice." Elements of Heth's Confederate Division attacked from the west (distant left beyond the McPherson Barn). Caught on two sides, Stone's Brigade fell back to Seminiary Ridge.
