Fredericksburg Battlefield at the Sunken Road

This house survived (with a few touch ups) the cival war. If you look inside the house, you can still see the bullet marks on the walls 

This wall which we are on was a barricade for the Confederates

 
This man in the statue who is giving the wounded man water is Sergeant Richard Kirkland. He risked his own life in order to carry water to wounded enemy soldiers who had fallen in front of his line. For his actions, he has been called "Thae Angel of Marye's Heights"
