Caption: Advance of the 114th Pennsylvania
Additional Description: Looking up the driveway to the Sherfy House toward Seminary Ridge. In the afternoon of July 2, just as the Confederate infantry advanced from the far treeline on Seminary Ridge, the 114th Pennsylvania, later joined by the 57th and 105th Pennsylvania, crossed Emmitsburg Road to cover the withdrawal of a Federal battery. In the advanced position, just a few yards west of the barn and farm house, the 114th was attacked by the 13th and 17th Mississippi Infantry. Holding as long as possible, the Zouaves were replaced on the line by the 73rd New York who further delayed Barksdale's advance.
