About This Map
Old map of Fredericksburg, United States, Virginia.
Map shows Gen. R. E. Lee's strong position on the heights overlooking Fredericksburg, Va. While he could not prevent the Union forces from crossing the Rappahannock River on December 13 and taking the town, they were unable, despite repeated suicidal assaults, to take the hills on which the Confederate forces were entrenched. After several days astride the river, the Union forces withdrew the night of December 15.
Created by William H. Paine, Robert Knox Sneden in 12-13.

- The left Grand Division under Franklin was ordered to attack at Hamilton's Crossing and seize the heights held by Jackson. The right Grand Division to attack Longstreet's position in front and seize Marie's Hights. This was to be two isolated attacks. Franklin was repulsed because his columns of attack were not properly supported. The stone wall was held by 1700 Rebels, each man having 3 muskets loaded continually by those in the rear ranks. Sumner was also repulsed with over 2000 killed. They got within 25 paces of the wall only."--Page caption.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
