Civli War Sites/Sights.

[poorhunter78]

Dont know if a similar thread exists, But thought this would be cool to talk about experiences and sights to new civil war sights we have visited.

I am starting this thread for a friend. A civil war nut.

I visited Gettysburg a few years ago, for the first time!

Re: Helping a friend.

Great pictures BTW Spart!!

Hey Digger, I thought this would be a good thread for learning and seeing firsthand how things were in the war, Well then and now. I have never been to a Reinactment, So I PM'd Spartacus53 and asked, Ok bugged him to post his pictures of the battle at gettysburg. He posted all these pictures, I have a few but they are just scenery of Harpers Ferry from the 80's. Hoped More folks would have pictures to share New or old pics of sights and such of the civil war. From all state associated with the war, For Everyone to see these places. I have only saw a mere scratch in the surface of how many there are.

So come on folks loosen up and show what you have!

I haven't got the chance to go to one either, it's on my bucket list though! Great thread poorhunter78!

I've been to so many reenactments I feel like I fought in that War

poorhunter78, you have one very near you in New Market.. They reenact the battle that the cadets from V.M.I fought in every May. Been there a few times

Also been on numerous occasions to the following

Gettysburg, PA 4 times
Mananas, VA I at least 10 times
Mananas, VA II only twice, it does overlap I, but all the construction has reduced it to almost nothing
Fredericksburg, VA 3 times
Chancellorsville, VA 3 times
Battles of Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House 3 times

I have yet to, and want to visit Antietam, Shiloh, Petersburg and fort Wagner & Sumpter in SC

Some interesting trivia for you.. The Civil War started in Wilmer Mclean's front porch and ended in his backyard. He moved right after the first battle to get out of harms way. I just think trouble followed him

I'll leave this one for you guys to answer...

What town changed hands the most often.. I think it was either 26, or 27 times

Spart I believe the answer is Romney in West Virginia

Greenland Gap was one heck of a skirmish . A few brave men held up an army because of narrow
valley passes .

fyrffytr1, that was an amazing post with the pictures and narration

I really feel sorry for Henry Wirz, I truly think he was given the bums rush under that kangaroo court.. He did what he could do under the circumstances.

I hope more people will share their photos on poorhunters thread. It would be nice to have one place with 100's of images to visit.
