Civil War Camp Saved in Stafford
Now that i think about it, i don't think i've ever visited a civil war camp. I always figured that soldiers traveled from one battle to the next, making camps along the way and finally making a permanent camp at the battlefield. I guess it would make sense that when the troops aren't fighting, like during the winter, they would need a permanent camp. I think it's a good thing that Stafford is preserving a civil war camp. I don't think people understand the hardships the soldiers went through when they weren't fighting and preserving a camp would be a good teaching tool. As for C. T. Park Inc.; I think it was a good thing that he donated the land, but i have a feeling there will be complications or pay offs down the road. I don't really trust land developers, but hey, maybe he's a nice guy. I know if the camp get's opened up, i'll be one of the first people to go see it.

We should all go see the camp when it opens! Who needs to drive all the way to Fredericksburg for their history-viewing needs when there's a civil war camp right here in Stafford? We could make it a field trip! Shellenator, you're a genius.
