Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: September 29, 2007
Caption: The Creek
Additional Description: Doesn't look like much, but for a traveler bound by the wagons of the day, this was a barrier. In the morning of October 19, 1864, two Confederate divisions passed this point moving north to engage Federal forces on the north side of Cedar Creek. Later in the day, Confederate wagons became tangled in the wooden bridge over the creek, blocking the avenue of retreat.
