These photos taken on May 16, 2014 are from the first day position of the Union troops along the Orange Plank Road. Presently it's modern day Route 3, west of Fredericksburg. The area was purchased by the Civil War Trust and the Central Virginia Battlefields Trust to preserve the area from commercial incursion.
