(October 2001)
Typical underbrush of the whole Wilderness Area. During both battles
here (Hooker’s & Grant’s) the underbrush caught fire from the many
thousands of rounds of both Mini-Ball and Canon Ball that were
fired. Many wounded soldiers of both sides were burned to death, as they
could not Crawl away |
(October 2001) View of the dirt road that General Jackson’s troops marched on during their 13 mile march across the face of Hooker’s army to attack the right flank. General Otis Howard’s 11th Corps of mostly German troops held the right flank. The attack was such a surprise and so strongly pushed that the Union right flank Collapsed almost 2 ½ miles to the east |
