Location of Fort Haskell, to the south of Forth Stedman, where the 100th Pennsylvania was positioned at the time of Gordon's early morning attack, March 25, 1865. The Roundheads were camped at Fort Haskell and still in their bunks when the Confederates attacked. During the attack and attempt to fight back, commanding officer Lt. Col. Joseph Pentecost was mortally wounded. 1999 photograph; courtesy of usa-civil-war.com website
