The R.R. embankment can be detected running left to right just in front of the houses. The Mts. in the distance are those along which the flank movement of Gen. Crook was made, by which about 4 p.m. he came upon the left rear of the Confed. over beyond the R.R. On the left in mid-distance is the field occupied by Gordon which No's 85, 86 were taken.'
83 D (51). July 28, 1884, Monday 2:30 p.m. cloudy. About 2 miles south up the valley from Strasburg, Va. The pike here climbs an embankment and then goes over the bridge and turns a right angle up the valley of Tumbling Run. We turned off to the lower (East) side and eat our dinner under the big trees on the right. A ghost of the carriage can be made out. This view would have made a fine picture if the Neg had not fogged in the development.
'The entire house is only a few yards from the great bridge and is on the right of the pike as one comes from Strasburg, up the valley. The road on the left becomes Tumbling Run and then crosses the opposite bank.; 90.D(56); July 29, 1884, Tuesday 2:15 pm'
