"Just after passing the barn I met General Longstreet riding, unattended, to the front. The general seeing me wounded, politely bowed and passed on without remark." - Union Lieutenant Francis E. Morgan, 73rd New York Infantry.

Stereoviews below are believed to be those of the bodies of members of the Union "Excelsior Brigade," shown where they fell after Barksdale's Confederates charged through their ranks, probably photographed on the field between the Peach Orchard and the Trostle Farm.
