The ridge in this view is Loudoun Heights, the Virginia highland that rises above the point where the Shenandoah meets the Potomac at Harpers Ferry. Its slopes gave the town its commanding setting, and during the Civil War they became strategic ground. In September 1862, Confederate forces under Stonewall Jackson placed artillery on the heights during the siege of the Union garrison below, and the rivers and ridges around the town shaped its fate for much of the war. Notice how the river gap cuts through the hills, the feature that made this spot so valuable to travelers and soldiers alike.
