Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 9, 2008
Caption: Battery Location
Additional Description: Looking east from the tablet, with the 16th Connecticut Infantry Monument in the line of sight. Following out from that point is the location of Burnside Bridge, covered by the ridge line with trees. Through the trees is a set of barren low ridges, appearing as green bands. The battery was located on an elevation there to overlook the Burnside Bridge. In effect, Battery G was acting as the last line of defense, should the Confederate counterattack break the Federal lines.
