Interesting flag Drew, what regiment is it from?
Nice piece, Bill. Lots of good men died there. There was an excellent piece on CBS SUNDAY MORNING today about the effort to acquire some of the original battlefield and restore it as closely as possible to its 1864 appearance. It has involved purchasing a lot of private and commercial property, relocating businesses, removal of modern structures and so on. I imagine it's available on demand via the CBS or the program's websites.
Micheal ChapmanThank you again, Sir William. Great stuff as usual. (And I MUST know who that musical artist was!!)

I've been following this for years. Kind of a Crowning Moment of Awesome for battlefield preservation and quite probably the only preservation effort of its kind where land has actually been removed from development in significant quantities. Pretty cool in an environmental sense, too.
If this keeps up, they'll have a nice Ground Zero for a State Park in a few years.
