Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: April 6, 2008
Caption: Tidball's Field of Fire
Additional Description: Tidball's report continued that he placed his guns in a commanding position not only for the enemy directly in front, but for an enfilading fire in front of Sumner's Corps on the right and that of Burnside on the left of me. This view, from atop the rise where Tidball's guns were placed, the Boonsboro Pike is on the far left. The high ground in the center is the major elevation south of the Piper Farm. At the time of the battle, this was the center of the Confederate defenses. Just to the right of that high ground is a ravine opening behind the Sunken Road.
