Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: July 6, 2008
Caption: Hancock and Wright Attack
Additional Description: Looking north from a point on the Spotsylvania History Trail loop, north of the marker location. In this view is the Harrison House site (on the right in the stand of trees) and the road leading to the McCoull House (distant center). At the time of the battle, the open fields here extended further south to the area of Ewell's entrenchments. However, most of the ground was covered with debris from previous fighting and obstacles laid by the Confederates to defend this sector. The Federal advance was toward the camera's point of view from the distant tree lines.
