The high ground to the right, in the foreground, is on Moccasin Point.

RELICS FROM SNODGRASS HILL....

These limbs of oak trees were cut on Snodgrass Hill in 1888, two years before the Park was established. The trees from which they were taken stood at the foot of the slope where Steedman's Division went into action when it reached Thomas' line Sunday afternoon. The firing was from Confederate batteries at Steedman's lines.
