VALLEY TOWARD SALTILLO

This scene depicts the view from the base of Independence Hill after its capture the
previous day.  Federation hill appears in the left foreground, behind which are the
Sierra Madre Mountains.  To the right is Miter Mountain, around which the opening
action between the Mexican lancers and the Texas Rangers occurred on September 21.
In the valley below a wagon train moves along the Saltillo Road, parallel to which is
the Santa Catarina River against the front of Federation Hill.
