I took this during my last trip a few years ago of the marker honoring the furthest advance of the 26th North Carolina.

Yep, I remember seeing that marker. The 26th were the real ‘badasses’ of their day. As was told to Lee at Fredricksburg .....(paraphrased).... “Sir, these men will hold their ground like they have tar on their heels...”
Interesting photo! Is the “26th” a designation of the regiment?
Also, as another poster pointed out, that ground would seem to be the worst possible for any kind of infantry advance.
