Caption: 2nd and 4th North Carolina Attack the Federal Right Flank
Additional Description: Looking toward the Eternal Light Peace Memorial from the east side of the tour road. Exhibits for Confederate artillery are on the right. The left wing of Ramseur's Brigade, along with elements of Doles' and other Brigades attacked down the crest of the ridge line. This attack overlapped the Federal right flank and turned the position, precipitating a general withdraw. The Federal 16th Maine fought a hard delaying action in front of the Confederates to buy time for the withdraw.
