Same view shed as

of the position). You are still across Doctor's Creek, but forward of
the Union position |

You have now walked
up the hill, following the path of Jones's failed Confederate assault,
where the 10th Wisconsin of Harris's Union Brigade stood. You are
looking back to the west-northwest, at Starkweather Heights. Donelson,
Steward, and S.A.M. Wood all pursued the retreating Federal forces over
this ground, later in the afternoon |

Looking at those pesky
Darden Confederate batteries from just to the left of the 10th Wisconsin
position. Doctor's Creek is in the center of the picture. To the right,
Brown and Jones battered themselves against Harris's and Lytle's
brigades without making headway |
perry0018 From just north of the 10th Wisconsin position, looking back northeast towards the current-day Visitor Center. Donelson's
Confederate Brigade came through here, in the area defended by Webster's
Union Brigade |

current-day Visitor Center, you are now just about even with the tall
