While at an appointment yesterday I looked up Civil War sites and tried to get to a few monuments. Here are a few.
Yep. Half of Chestnut Ridge is gone now.Great photos, thanks for posting. The Ashby monument is hard to find surrounded by the JMU sprawl.
Was this headstone below a relative of the Kempers?Here is a photo of the house in Port Republic where Turner Ashby's body was prepared for burial and where he laid in state. It was the home of Frank and Eliza Kemper.

Dave, when you walk through the Cemetery Gate, there were unidentified Confederate Soldiers buried along that fence to the left.
I would love that. I walked all around, but didn't take photos of everything. Let's do it.Dave, when you walk through the Cemetery Gate, there were unidentified Confederate Soldiers buried along that fence to the left.
Later on after the battle, 2 soldiers were known to be buried there, and the families put up 2 stones in their remembrance.
Maybe one day we could drink a cup of coffee and do a little more looking around.
