This
photo was taken on June 25, 2006 in the morning between downpours of heavy
rain. It was taken from the Fredericksburg National Cemetery looking down
the slope. The Union Army of the Potomac's Fifth Corps attacked Maryes'
Heights unsuccessfully on December 13, 1862 at a terrible cost in loss of
life. In 1901 General Daniel Butterfield erected this monument to honor
the soldiers of his command who died in the charge(s) against the
Confederates at Maryes' Heights, as well as all of the Fifth Corps
soldiers in the entire war |

The statue of Andrew A. Humphreys is the
most impressive at Fredericksburg National Cemetery. It is located in the
middle of the cemetery where over 15,000 Union troops lie buried. Gen
Humphreys seems to be looking out over the field at these men. Over 1,000 of
the total were men under his command from Pennsylvania. The soldiers of
Humphrey's Division of the 5th Corps got within 100 yards of the impossible
objective before they were driven back |
