I am certainly interested in preservation of this battlefield as I’m sure it
has a connection to my family.

Seriously, we can only hope to God that somehow it gets saved. I too, just treasure the thought of parking on Mortal Wound Lane, walking along Saber To The Scalp Avenue, and being able to see…

Nothing.

You are, of course, correct, and maybe this unwelcome news will finally stir enough of a response to do some good.

What, Cannon Ball Court? Corduroy Road? How touching. What’s next, Double Amputee Avenue? That ought to really appeal to the “active adults” willing to pay in the “low 3’s” for a slice of history. Well, at least it’s being done for the “schools and communities.” That makes it OK I guess. How very sad.

While I vigorously disagree with why Troy thinks that the Union troops were operating in that area, I definitely appreciate his zeal for the topic. Anything that helps to raise the awareness of this little gem of a battlefield is a good thing in my book, and to that end, I wholeheartedly endorse his efforts (even though I disagree with significant portions of his interpretation).

And you are, of course, right. The world has plenty of cheesebox houses. I see no reason to lose a battlefield to them.

$adly, you’re right on the $$$ with your comment$.
