I must admit that I know little about Mosby's raids.

These are of Potts-Neer Mill in Loudon County, Va. We were told this was the last "surviving" structure of "The Burning".

During the 2023 CWT Winchester/Cedar Creek/New Market Muster, I remember the Park Ranger at Cedar Creek talking about "The Burning". That was the first time I had heard of it.

As a final posting of our trip, here are a few photos I took at the National Civil War museum in Harrisburg, Pa. Definetly worth a visit.

Union Gen George Mcclellan's saddle

CSA Gen Robert E Lee's hat and gloves

Graphic diorama of the wounding of a union artillery officer on July 3 at the Angle in Gettysburg. Can you the name of the officer?

The coat sleeve and sword of CSA Gen George Pickett when he was wounded at Gaines Mill. His blood strains are still visible

Wonder if the coat was originally gray?
