Description
On December 13, 1862, Federal forces suffered terrible casualties in several futile assaults against Confederate defenders on the heights behind the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Although this engagement was tactically insignificant to either side during the Civil War, the actions of Sgt. Richard Kirkland on the morning after the massacre left a lasting legacy and gave birth to the story of "The Angel of Marye's Heights."
