Description:

'96.59 D I.C.; July 30, 1884, Wed.; Battlefield of Cedar Creek. Same shot as No. 95. Looking East. The top of the covered bridge over Cedar Creek is in the middle of the view. A glimpse of the stream at the right. From the field near the top of the ridge and to the right of the woods were taken views No. 97 and 98. That whole ridge to the right of the woods was covered by the tents of Crooks camp. The farm and hay stocks on the left are the same as appear in No. 97 and 98. Our troops after the surprise were driven towards the left through those woods to and across the pike which after crossing the stream keeps on down the main valley nearly parallel with the portion visible.'
