Taken: May 26, 2007
Caption: The Thomas Farm seen from the West
Additional Description: From a point near modern U.S. Interstate 270, this view looks back to the Thomas Farm. The Confederate battle line in the final phases of the battle advanced from the right side of view, against the Federals on the left. The Confederate cavalry under Brig. Gen. John McCausland made two unsuccessful attacks on the Federal lines before Maj. Gen. John B. Gordon's Confederate Division arrived in position. Gordon's division arrayed from east (closest to the camera) to west - Brig. Gen. William Terry's (Stonewall) Brigade, Brig. Gen. Zubelon York's (Louisiana) Brigade, and Brig. Gen. Clement Evans (Georgia) Brigade.

Placing the point of view in perspective, photo number 3 in this set was taken near the silo of the barn in the distance.
