Civil War Camps

I never imagined that the camps troops stayed in would be as interesting to learn about as the article suggests. I learned a little more about what the camp sites were really like. It is hard to beleive that the camp had 120,000 troops in our small town of Stafford. The sites do seem to be forgotten and should definitely by preserved, not just for us, but for future generations to learn more about what happened in Stafford. It is great that C.T. Park Inc. is helping and i hope that many people realize how important these sites can be and conclude that they should not be destroyed.

That is true, these sites will not only help us learn Stafford's historical facts, but they will also help future generations.

I couldn't believe that there were that many troops in Stafford either. I had to reread it for a second. The camps should definitely be preserved. You are right! Many building companies need to follow C.T. Park and realize the importance of history in certain areas.
