The Brickyard Fight, Battle of Gettysburg, July 1, 1863
This painting depicts the short, but furious action of the 154th New York Infantry, known as “the Hardtack Regiment” of the Union Army’s 11th Corps, as they defend the brickyard of John Kuhn, on the afternoon of July 1, 1863 during the battle of Gettysburg. The New Yorkers are in line of battle against the post and rail fence that bordered the northern border of the yard as they engage the Confederate Louisiana and North Carolina brigades under Harry T. Hays and Isaac E. Avery, who are bearing-down on the union soldiers through a wheat field. In this artwork, artist Mark Maritato has brought to life on canvas what that moment may have looked like to the soldiers who were there that day. Mr. Maritato has worked for years in researching and developing this artwork in an effort to make it as true to the known historical record as possible.
