Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: April 6, 2008
Caption: 4th Infantry Skirmish Line
Additional Description: From the high ground north of the Cemetery parking lot, looking back to the southeast. The modern Boonsboro Pike runs across the frame. The old road bed is a few yards to the south of that. The skirmishers from three companies of the 4th U.S. Infantry advanced directly up the slopes here. With their left flank (along the road) refused, the skirmishers confronted Confederate artillery batteries positioned on the high ground, not far from the where this photo was taken.
