My Virginia cousins who were avid diggers and belong to the NVRHA took me digging at a very early age and I've been hooked on the military battles of the Civil War ever since. Historical preservation down south is head and shoulders over what we have up here. Betty do you have any pictures of Lew's brother?

Dan,

You are welcome.

Since you are a Stonewall admirer, as I am, you probably know that there is a beautiful little spot not as far from you as Appomattox called Guinea Station and is the location of the Chandler Plantation {no longer existing}. The small overseer's house and office still stands and inside is the bedroom where Jackson died after being wounded during the Battle of Chancellorsville.

I know it is a long road for you, but if you have not been, it may be worth the ride.

Take care,

Rick
