Riley's Charge

 is a location featured in Red Dead Redemption in the Cholla Springs region of the New Austin territory. It is an abandoned, mostly burnt encampment against a cliff northeast of Fort Mercer and west of Lake Don Julio.

Red Dead Redemption
Judging by the equipment and construction around the area, it can be assumed that Riley's Charge was a fortification left abandoned from the Indian Wars or some other notable battle, as cannons and cannonballs litter the area. The namesake of the area suggests that "Riley" may have been a commander or leader at the site, and charged across the open ground east of the encampment.

Undead Nightmare
During the Undead Nightmare, Marston will visit this location on an errand for Nigel West Dickens to complete the mission &quot;A Cure for Most of What Ails You&quot;.

This is also the location of Mintie Cummings, the second missing person to be rescued in the Fort Mercer segment of the Missing Souls Side-missions.

Trivia

 * The Black on Red RDR Logo T-Shirt Avatar Award is unlocked by opening a chest found the burnt down cabin here.
 * When in or around the Armadillo Saloon, an NPC can be overheard saying that he intends to visit Riley's Charge, stating that his grandfather was killed at the location.
 * There is a lone tent and campsite on the winding road above the cabin which provides an excellent place to observe the surrounding area. This campsite may have served as an observation post or spotters post to direct the cannonfire onto the enemy or watch for approaching enemy forces during the battle that this location is named for.
 * This could be a reference to Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, for the defenders were dug in and there was a charge by the opposing army, just as it seems this is.
 * The Blackwater Ledger mentions a "One-Lung" Lester Riley. However, he was a criminal killed by Marshal Leigh Johnson and it is unlikely that he is the namesake.
 * It is possible to find the Legendary Jackalope in this area, but they are hard to see as they blend in with the enviroment and are quite fast.
