FREDERICKSBURG
(PAGE 3 OF 8)
The Confederates used the stone wall along the sunken road below Marye's Heights to repeatedly drive back Union attacks in December, 1862. The photograph on the left, showing dead Confederate soldiers, was taken after the Union overran a weaker Confederate force holding the position while the majority of Lee's forces were at Chancellorsville in 1863. The 2005 photograph shows the reconstructed portion of the wall. ![]() 1998 Union view of the stone wall, with Marye's Heights in the background.   (B) |
