Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: Right Flank of the 57th New York
Additional Description: Looking from the right flank marker stone to the monument. Zook's Brigade formed across the Stony Hill just behind the Irish Brigade in the later phases of the see-saw battle in the Wheatfield. When Brooke's and Sweitzer's Brigades were driven back from the south edges of the field, the 57th's left flank was exposed. This precipitated the withdrawal of all Federal forces from this sector.
