Stop 10 - Stoner's Battery
Manage episode 280218078 series 2840992
Here on the south side of the river on the elevated ground to the left, Confederate Major Robert G. Stoner set up his battery of two mountain howitzers. Knowing that these guns would not reach the Union camp, his job was to keep the Union troops wondering if they would. Afterwards, Stoner’s men forded the river several times, bringing a prisoner back across each trip. The back side of the bluff to the right was the camp of the Union army. The ridge ahead and to the left is Stop #7.
(Back across the river 0.6 mile, turn right on Cemetery Road and go 0.5 miles.)
