Interpretive Marker: The Bridges
 
At 4:15, Kenly realized the what remained of his 700 man command had been flanked on Richardson's Hill and determined to retreat across the bridges spanning the South Fork of the Shenandoah. By 4:30, as Confederate Marylanders and Louisianans pressed the Federal flanks, Kenly organized his retreat. Once across, Kenly employed the 5th New York Cavalry and one artillery piece on Guard Hill to protect his retreat further north. Federal attempts to burn the bridges failed when Taylor's Louisiana troops advanced and beat out the flames. Kenly's attempts to burn the bridges only slowed- but did not stop-the Confederate attack.
