Historical Markers

Not quite Civil War, but shortly afterwards. For all lovers of the "Four-Footed Friends" Forum. Taken at Ft. Laramie, Wyoming:

Had to dig out the flash drive for this one too. Wasn't sure I had even saved this picture. This one sits all by itself on a 2 lane highway just outside of Rusk,Texas. I did a 2 day whirlwind CW tour of East Texas in January 2017 and Rusk was my last stop on the way home and this was the last picture I took.

Love this thread... could read it for hours. I always take pictures of them, too; sometimes it's because I'm in a rush and will read them off the photo later; but more frequently, it's because it's the only evidence that anything ever happened at that place...

That's the case with the pictures I am posting. Nothing but a sign marks the spot.

I don't think I have posted this one.

And I wonder if this one still stands.

The flash drive is getting a workout in this thread. On a city street in Marshall,Texas:

Ran across this one on the highway between Clinton,Louisiana and Camp Moore in March 2017. Had to do a u-turn and go back for a picture. Didn't realize what it was until I was already on it and going too fast to stop.

Taken a few years ago along Uniontown Road in Maryland, just before the village of Uniontown itself.

Wow! Never heard about that. Hope I can find a thread on this incident.

I thought the intention of the original post was to post photos of those heavy cast Tablets. But some people are posting these colored plaques. So I will break the rule, too.

Another lone sign on a Louisiana highway from the flash drive.

I really appreciate this thread. This should be in the "you know you are obsessed with the civil war" thread. Because if you are anything like me you have either

a) researched where markers are when planning civil war trips as part of your stops, or

b) pull over to read and/or photograph markers when driving anywhere or

c) get super excited when you see a marker while driving that you didn't know about and

d) scare anyone else in the car when braking hard or pull a U-turn to get out and read the marker or

e) all the above

More than once have I been with family and made detours for markers, much to the disdain of my family. That's why I always drive!
