It's been a good long while, but here are some photos from the Harpers Ferry trip last month that I finally got developed.

View across the Potomac toward Maryland Heights from "The Point"

The Harpers Ferry water gap - Potomac flowing from the left, Shenandoah flowing from the right - both becoming the Potomac ahead

View of the Virginia side, Loudoun Heights (occupied by Walker's Division), and the Shenandoah from Maryland Heights

Harpers Ferry behind me, Bolivar Heights and School House Ridge on the horizon, where Jackson's main body attacked the Union lines
