Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: June 12, 2009
Caption: Bristoe Station Battlefield
Additional Description: View looking across the center part of the battlefield from stop seven of the walking trail. In the distance, just behind the rusty shed in the center of view, is the old Orange and Alexandria Railroad. Hays' and Webb's Federal Divisions defended that sector. Advancing down the slope, Cooke's North Carolina Brigade advanced toward that sector, dressing on the Brentsville Road (CR 619) to the left of view. After their repulse, Cooke's men fell back to a point northwest of the road, outside the park grounds.
