It being called the "sunken" road today has already been explained.

I still don't get what you're asking. I went for a walk on a road today. When I got home, did I make specific note to my wife on whether the path was sunken or not? Now, if all paths are sunken, then it would merit being called out by being an exception to the norm.

I just don't understand why the two of you are so upset about this. Does it really change much about the fighting? Maybe it makes the Union defense less impressive? Or (perhaps more important to the two of you) make the Confederate capture of the position less impressive? I don't know.

I also don't have the gumption to accept internet forum challenges from who I can only imagine is a grown man.

Anyway, have a nice evening, gents.

That's what I thought.

I'm not upset as you are the one that started it with your post below. Did you see it 50 years ago when it was The Sunken Road. I have. You have a good evening as well.

This is a bad thing? As far as I'm concerned, the closer it looks to 1862, the better.

Because the battle happened in 1972, right?

I mean, a road couldn't possibly degrade in the 110 years between 1862 and 1972, could it? Especially when thousands and thousands of people (and vehicles) traverse it.

So, Do you want to prove it wasn't and I will prove it was used by soldiers used as cover as you have not answered that question.

And the soldiers that wrote those first hand accounts were just embellishing a puddle I suppose .
