Excerpt from Short Tactical Studies: I. The Battle of W¿rth, August 6th, 1870 The ridge cast of Worth, which had been surveyed and reported on so early as 1818 as an excellent ¿ank position against an invasion of Alsace, is a spur of the Vosges Mountains. The Vosges in this district nowhere attain a height of more than 1550 feet, but they are covered with forest from crest to foot, broken up into many parallel ridges, and traversed by few roads. The passes are narrow, the slopes steep, and the range, 16 - 20 miles in breadth, constitutes a formidable military obstacle.
