From Bolivar Heights Looking at Schoolhouse Ridge
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: September 22, 2007
Caption: From Bolivar Heights Looking at Schoolhouse Ridge
Additional Description: Schoolhouse ridge was recently opened up with interpretive trails by the National Parks Service. Looking down this "cut" one can see the tree line where Jackson's force first advanced against the Harpers Ferry garrison. While Jackson's line didn't have the advantage of elevation, the presence of artillery on that front pinned the Federal forces to Bolivar Heights.
