Naked Creek
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: October 4, 2008
Caption: Naked Creek
Additional Description: Like many tributaries to the Shenandoah River, the creek presented an obstacle to military movements. The rocky bottom could be crossed by foot traffic, but wagons and cannon could not easily traverse. Columns, such as Shield's, required bridges or proper ford location in order to advance up the Valley.
