Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: Farnsworth and the 1st Vermont
Additional Description: Looking down the trail east of the Slyder Farm. Under the traditional interpretation of the charge, Farnsworth along with the main elements of the 1st Vermont first charged north along Plum Run, then turned around the Slyder farm, turning east. The eastward leg of the charge took the cavalrymen to the slopes of Big Round Top. Plum Run passes across the trail about 50 yards forward. In this area Farnsworth's horse was shot. Remounted, Farnsworth himself was killed further up the slope near the 1st Vermont Monument.
