Civil War Camps

I was taken aback when I read the there were 120,000 union troops in Stafford. I did not know that there was such a large civil war camp in Virginia. I do see how the camps can be put on the back-burner by other historic sites, like battlefields. I think that it is important to tell how the soldiers lived during one of the bloodiest wars in American history. The camps should be a good learning tool, and an excellent way to connect with history. I think that the fact that C. T. Park Inc is willing to donate the land is great, that they are willing to look into this. I think that Stafford should work with people like them in trying to preserve Stafford’s historic sites.
