Here is the location of Union monuments at Devil's Den with lines drawn to indicate their flank markers. The regiments belonging to Ward's brigade are indicated in green. In black notation are the location of the monuments to Smith's 4th NY Battery, also showing flank markers. Smith had 4 guns right above the "den," but located 2 more in the rear because they could not be accommodated with the others.
Notice the significant difference between the location of the guns on today's battlefield versus what many now believe were the actual position of the guns (in red). Any thoughts on this? Evidently, it has been controversial for some time. The story of Devil's Den has particularly fascinated me. The most detailed information that I have found comes from Garry Adelman and Timothy Smith's excellent book.
