Viniard Fields, Night of Sept. 18

Viniard's Fields on September 18 1863 before Becoming the Theater of War. The name "Viniard" is written across the east Viniard Field. The west Viniard field is straight across the road, extending north to the marked boundary opposite the school house and west to the marked boundary. The blue-green watercourse running through the west Viniard field is "the ditch", refuge and death trap.
