I wonder how these will be affected by the removal of the confederate flag from many places including southern state houses and now the statues controversy. Very interesting post and serendipity to have been there on this day.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878439526016806849.post-29773008921695441552017-08-20T22:09:09.291-04:002017-08-20T22:09:09.291-04:00I was not familiar with this particular battle.

We wouldn't be able to visit during enactment days, however. We would have to leave Taz in the car and she would come apart at the sound of the guns.<br />Nice photos and story.

Paul isn't all that excited about the trip, but I am on cloud 9. We will be staying right on the battle ground at the campground.
