I think what surprised me the most was the fact that the camp in Stafford had 120,000 troops and was the largest "city" at that time. I never really thought or learned about the camps that the troups stayed in and their harsh conditions, so it was interesting to learn about the how important the campsites really are. I do agree that the campsites are forgotten, as I am guilty of forgetting them. I learned that they are important sites and should be preserved after all that's where the troops spent most of their time, and it's a way to learn more about the lives and history of the lives of the troops who fought in the Civil War. It's was nice to read that C.T. Park Inc helped out in indentifying and documenting the campsite. Developers should appreciate historic lands instead of building huge subdivisions on it.
