Some New News About an Old War. From Civil War Interactive Newswire-- always a great source for any and all things Civil War.
1. BENTONVILLE-- Looks like I am really going to have to go out to Bentonville, North Carolina for the huge re-enactment being held March 20-21st. Around 3,500 re-enactors will be there, more than I've ever seen.
Tickets are $8 before March 1st and $10 afterwards. That'll give me a chance to visit with family as well.
2. UP IN THE TREES-- Culpepper County, Virginia has voted to place 620,000 trees along US-15 from there northward to Gettysburg to honor the 620,000 Americans, both Union and Confederate, who died during the Civil War. This will cover 180 miles and obviously involve many other governments and lots of money and volunteering.
This will be in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the war.
An admirable effort. Hope it succeeds. I'll volunteer.
3. DEVIL'S DEN-- The Gettysburg National Military Park will be removing a bathroom and the power lines running to it from this site in an effort to return it to its 1863 appearance. Good idea.
