Landscape behind the exhibit shelter	Sign: Gordon Flank Attack Trail

"In this field and its surrounding woods fell nearly one-third of the men killed or wounded in the Battle of the Wilderness."
"The two-mile Gordon Flank Attack Trail tracks the Battle of the Wilderness in all its horrible forms: the open-field Union attacks here that initiated the battle; the stalemate in the tangled woods to the north; and the devastating Confederate flank attack that, after two days of fighting, almost brought the Federals to disaster."
