Description
English:

A sketch shows a railroad bridge over a river, slim trees on the side of a hill, and a lookout on a high bluff.

Monocacy National Battlefield. The wooden railroad bridge across the Monocacy River was replaced by an iron bridge in the mid-1850s. The Union army placed their 24-pound howitzer to "defend the two bridges and cover the retirement and crossing of skirmishers" on the high bluff to the right.
