Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 1, 2008
Caption: Gunner's View of the Advancing Confederates
Additional Description: Looking down the barrel of a gun flanking the monument toward the west. During the early afternoon fighting, one section of Reynold's Battery was posted forward, approximately where Stone Avenue enters McPherson's Woods. Another section was posted south of the woods. After the McPherson Ridge line collapsed, the battery fell back to a position just north of the Fairfield-Hagerstown Road on Seminary Ridge. One of the battery's guns would be left there, disabled, when the remainder relocated to Cemetery Ridge beyond Gettysburg.
