Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: December 22, 2007
Caption: Portion of the North Battlefield of Brandy Station
Additional Description: Looking generally west from about 500 yards north of the marker, this view is looking at the ground from which the 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry launched their charge on the Confederate artillery. On the other side of the road crossing in the middle of the frame, Confederate Gen. William "Grumble" Jones positioned his brigade to defend the Confederate left flank. Later in the day, the Federal lines stabilized along the high ground to the left of the photo frame.

In the far distance is a ridge line used by Confederate Gen. W.H.F. Lee while staging to attack Federal Gen. John Buford's Division positioned to the north.
