Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: December 22, 2007
Caption: The 21st Virginia's View of Augur's Attack
Additional Description: Augur's and Geary's men advanced across the field to the front here, beyond the fence, towards Crittenden Lane on the right side of the photo. Clearly apparent from this view is the cross fire described on the marker. With the artillery on the shelf of Cedar Mountain (dark green stand of trees on the mountain) firing from the east, Early and Taliaferro's men firing from the south (the present day General Winder Road, right of photo), and the 21st Virgina firing adding their fire from behind this fence, the Federals were hit on three sides.
