Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 1, 2008
Caption: The 76th Infantry Advances North of the Railroad Cut
Additional Description: Looking north from the tree line east of Reynolds Avenue. The Peace Memorial is a good point of reference, in the distant center. The 76th Monument is on the high ground to the left. When initially deploying onto the field, The 76th New York was ordered to deploy north of the railroad cut. As the regiment deployed, Davis' Confederate Brigade slammed into Cutler's Federal Brigade. The 76th New York probably reached a point just north of the modern intersection of Reyonlds and Wainwright Avenues, but fell back to the wood line north of the third railroad cut.
