Additional Description: Looking from modern Reynolds Avenue toward the west between the Chambersburg Pike (left) and railroad (right). The high ground where Hall's Battery was deployed is around the lone tree to the left near the Reynolds Equestrian Statue. After driving off the 147th New York north of the railroad, Davis' Confederate Brigade charged over the open ground toward the Pike. The 42nd Mississippi attempted to capture Hall's guns, advancing from the railroad on the right toward the battery. The determined defense by the artillerymen along with the arrival of the 14th Brooklyn (84th New York), checked the Confederate advance here.
