CSA Trenches Looking Right
Longstreet's First Corps of the CSA Army of Northern Virginia built these
trenches. Longstreet, BTW had been wounded nearby during the battle and was
no longer in command at this time. The slight rise in plants denotes the
trench line. If you look toward the right center of the photo in the copse
of trees the Texas Monument is visible. The open space was the farmland of
the Widow Tapp. The tree line in the distance is private property (Fawn
Lake, a residential community) |

(6-2006) The Wilderness
Although the tour maps indicated the land was part of the Wilderness
Battlefield near the Widow Tapp farm area on the Orange Plank Road (Route
#621) at the intersection with Hill-Ewell Drive, I could not help but see
the obvious. |
