„Marye's House“

from the gallery of John Bailey
Description:

Marye's House upon Marye's Heights was the center of the Confederate position during the Battle of Fredericksburg. Built in 1838, the old home gains its greatest fame from the fact that against the heights in which it sits, Burnside sent eight Federal divisions in attacks, his men being slaughtered by the fire from the guns on the hills about the house and the musketry in the Sunken Road just below it.
