Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. MONOGM_030628_07.JPG: Gambrill Mill. This is the visitor center for the battlefield park. During the battle itself, it served as Wallace's headquarters. It was a flour mill built in 1830. In 1856, it was purchased by James Gambrill, a southern sympathizer. It produced up to 60 barrels of flour a day.
2. MONOGM_030628_16.JPG: This is the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge that crosses the Monocacy River. During the battle, Union skirmishers used it late in the day to escape from their positions on the Confederate side.
3. MONOGM_030628_19.JPG: Fleeing for Their Lives 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. July 9, 1864 Distressed that their main escape route had been burned, the stranded Federal skirmishers fought on as they faced periodic Confederate attacks. Late in the afternoon, they gradually fell back towards the Baltimore & Ohio bridge. About 5:00 p.m., they noticed their compatriots retreating across the Gambrill Mill property toward the Baltimore Pike and fled across the railroad bridge to join them. The skirmishers had protected the Union center and the escape route toward Baltimore. "Your people," Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace wrote 1st Lt. George E. Davis, "held their position with great tenacity." ... we kept together and crossed the railroad bridge, stepping upon the ties, there being no floor. The enemy were at our heels, and before we could get away...[took some] prisoners. One man fell through the bridge to the river, forty feet below, and was taken to Andersonville. -- 1st Lt. George E. Davis
4. MONOGM_030628_27.JPG: Another view of US 355, this one from the side of the river where the main Union force was assembled. The covered bridge would have been in about the same location during the battle.

2003 photos: Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
