Artist's rendering of the town of Fredericksburg in November of 1862. Marye's Heights awaits the Federals across the open fields
in the background towards the center right while Prospect Hill is on the left. The Confederate lines
would be anchored on Prospect Hill and the Rappahannock River and run along the high ground.
JEB Stewart's cavalry would help defend the end of the ANV line at Prospect Hill.
