Advance of McCandless
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: Advance of McCandless' Brigade
Additional Description: Looking east toward the north side of Little Round top. Wheatfield road passes up the slope in the center to intersect with Sykes Avenue. Crawford's Division was arrived on the high ground overlooking the valley as the later stages of the Wheatfield Contest played out. As the US Regulars were pushed from the field in the early evening, pursuing Confederates threatened to take Little Round Top from the north side. McCandless' Brigade charged to check the Confederates, advancing down the slopes here, across Plum Run, and up the ridge behind the camera.
