Caption: Earthworks on Culp's Hill
Additional Description: Looking at the earthworks beside Slocum Avenue on Culp's Hill. These works were occupied by Greene's Brigade in the evening of July 2 when the rest of the Division moved to support the Federal left flank. Green deployed the 60th New York on the upper crest of Culp's Hill. The 102nd and 149th New York were posted in the saddle. The 137th New York held the lower crest of the hill. And the 78th New York was held as a reserve. Holding tenaciously, and reinforced from adjacent units, the Federals held on to this key terrain.
