Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 1, 2008
Caption: The 143rd Pennsylvania on Seminary Ridge
Additional Description: Looking west from the position of Stewart's Battery B, 4th U.S. Chambersburg Pike is on the left, and the "railroad cut" is blocked by trees on the right. After falling back, the 143rd Pennsylvania was brought on line to support a section of Stewart's Battery then firing upon Scale's Confederate Brigade advancing down Chambersburg, in the late afternoon fighting. When the entire First Corps line was outflanked on the north with the collapse of Eleventh Corps, this position was abandoned with all forces retreating through Gettysburg to Cemetery Hill.
