Caption: Handley High School Grounds
Additional Description: A brigade of Federals under Col. George Gordon were posted across the high ground behind what is today Handley High School. An artillery duel between supporting Federal batteries there and Confederate batteries to the south was broken when Gen. Jackson swung Taylor’s Brigade around to attack to Federal position from the west. The Federals fell back across what is now the open ground, and broke into a full rout when another Confederate brigade under Gen. Richard Ewell arrived on the east side of the Valley Turnpike (modern US Highway 11).
