i'm a little jealous of the east coast posters for their easy access to these sites. i biked the c and o towpath a few years back and rode through harper's ferry on the way to cumberland. i know we were within shouting distance of more than one battlefield but that wasn't the focus. i regret the hurry now
and danzig, you're a more dedicated reader than i was if you finish foote's trilogy. i knocked off the first volume and then skimmed the last two. i love history but was a "c" student. shelby's a little dense with information at times. but when i go back to it, i read the vicksburg campaign from volume 2. you're at the best part.
