Caption: Location of Crittenden Gate
Additional Description: The trail head for the Cedar Mountain walking trail. The original path of the Orange and Culpeper Road is to the right of the snake-rail fence. Crawford's Federals broke through Confederate lines at this point, where disparate hand-to-hand fighting occurred. Jackson rallied the Confederates and prevented a full route, while General A.P. Hill's division arrived to reinforce the line.
