Black and white then and now of Gardner's photo dubbed "Fortress Cave" by William Frassanito. This area was apparently occupied by Confederate soldiers on July 3rd as it is out of the line of sight of Union troops on LRT. The vertically stacked firewood may have been gathered by the soldiers to boil their coffee. Also, seen in the photo is a dead soldier laying with his head towards the camera wearing a typical slouch hat. The rock wall is the border of the Tri-field. In addition, under magnification, the Timbers' barn can be seen in the distance.
