Caption: 54th New York Infantry Position
Additional Description: The 54th New York shares a flank marker with the 68th New York for the Brickyard Lane position. Looking north toward the monument from the right flank, the 54th held this position at the left end of Von Gilsa's Brigade. In the evening of July 2, facing the advance of Avery's Brigade, the 54th, a rather understrength regiment by this phase of the battle, fired only a few scattered shots before retreating up the slopes of the hill toward the artillery.
