Summary
| Description |
English: Union troops of the 2nd Brigade under the command of General Thomas Williams have encamped in the city limits of Baton Rouge. This photo was taken shortly before August 5, 1862. On that morning, Confederate General John C. Breckinridge's two divisions took advantage of a dense fog and made a surprise attack. Initially, they were successful in taking much of the Union camp but would eventually be repulsed. General Williams, however, lay dead on the battlefield. Photo 2 of 2. |
