I tried to add the photo using the add file button but it would not work.
Beautiful scene. Thanks for posting.
Nice photo. Flag at half staff - what was the occasion?
Thanks for posting this - my great grandfather's three eldest brothers went through there in summer 1861. They each made it home, in one piece, more or less. I'd like to visit one day.
The area is virtually unchanged since the War. Even the current railroad follows the original tracks.I happened upon this place by accident on the way to Texas in 2008, it is not too far off the interstate, it was beautiful and I highly recommend stopping if you are heading down Louisiana toward Baton Rouge. Since that time, I have read up on it and it is highly historic. Thanks for posting!
Great shot. Camp Moore is not far from where I live, so I often visit the sight. I had more than a few ancestors that trained there.
Nice pic. Thanks for sharing.
