Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: January 13, 2007
Caption: Devin's Brigade Fights on the Ridge
Additional Description: Looking from the Oak Ridge observation tower to the west. Some of the depth of Buford's delaying action can be appreciated in this view. In the far distance are the peaks in the South Mountain Range. The houses in the distance are those along Herr's Ridge, where the cavalry skirmished with the advancing Confederates of Heth's Division. Closer in, the markers along Buford Avenue, just above the "green" grass, indicate the main line of Devin's defense. Finally, the cavalry retired to Oak Ridge, from where this photo was taken.
