Of course, it was this battle that sparked my lifelong interest in the Civil War, history, and my eventual life-time career in teaching. To me, this is one very important event.
I understand that a reenactment was held yesterday at the site. Sure would have liked to have been there. The thought comes to me that I definitely should be there in seven years for the 150th anniversary. Perhaps they will be able to get the Armstrong gun back from West Point to mark the event. I didn't get to see it the last time it was on loan.
Looking Forward to the 150th. --The Old B-R'er
