Caption: Overhead View of O'Neal's Attacks
Additional Description: Looking from the Oak Ridge observation tower toward the Peace Light. O'Neal commanded the 6th, 12th, and 26th Alabama at the top of Oak Hill, near the location of the light. The 3rd Alabama, detached from the Brigade, was posted to the south of Mummasburg Road, on the left of this view. After the first repulse, O'Neal reformed and advanced in coordination with Ramseur's Brigade. That final assault, which occurred at the same time as developments at other sectors of the field overwhelmed the Federal lines.
