Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: April 4, 2009
Caption: The Irish Brigade on Stony Hill
Additional Description: The Irish Brigade advanced out of the Wheatfield into the woods which covered Stoney Hill (now the Loop on the park road). Their line faced to the northwest at an angle to Zook's Brigade (3rd Brigade, 1st Division, II Corps), and drove back Kershaw's Confederate Brigade. The Irish Brigade line advanced over the ground seen in this view, from left to right, then dressing with Zook's Brigade, faced west. When Wofford's Confederate Brigade attacked and turned Zook's right flank, the Irish Brigade fell back and reformed north of the Wheatfield.
