The
two monuments dominating this photo are the portrait statue of Gen. Andrew
Humphreys and the 11th Massachusetts Infantry. Seen at left is the Emmitsburg
Road. Also, two farms are visible . . . the Abraham Bryan barn at bottom left,
and the Nicholas Codori barn to the right of Gen. Humphreys. Both picket
fencing and wood fencing is visible. I think (though I may be wrong) that the
trees to the right of the 11th Massachusetts are actually the Copse at the High
Water Mark.
