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.
