Fredericksburg - Marye's Heights. During the most intense part of the fighting at Fredericksburg, the Confederate Army took up defensive positions on the lawn of this home and dug in with canons. Just at the base of this hill is the famous stonewall where Lee's army stood behind to fight off the Union assault. With rifle fire from the stone wall, and canon fire from this hill, not a single Union soldier made it up to the wall.
