Placement of Page
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: April 4, 2009
Caption: Placement of Page's Battery
Additional Description: From a point just north of the tablet location, looking south down Oak Ridge. The Mummasburg Road passes from left to right. The Federal line stood with their right flank on the road, along the ridge, just left of center. While Page's battery was in a good position to enfilade the Federal line posted on the ridge, the space to maneuver the guns was limited. The battery, packed into a tight working space, suffered 34% casualties (killed, wounded, or missing).
