It's easy to forget how these "little" skirmishes and engagements either set up a big fight or determined there would be no need for one, especially in American regions where armies were so small because built-up settlements - and the crucial supplies they would represent - were not on hand. Often the reason these places look as if you could step back 150 years is because they have been comparatively ignored (but, sadly, on the other hand the vast majority of the 10,000(!) engagement sites of this conflict have been ignored to the point of vanishing altogether under layers of development and time).
As ever, your camera work is a delight.
I concur 100%, Pat! I just visited the Middle Creek National Battlefield last month. This "Skirmish" assisted in keeping Federal control of Eastern Kentucky.
Thank you for your compliment about my photos. I really appreciate it!
