Aricle Response
After reading this article I feel better about Stafford, realizing that it played an important role in the civil war. It is important for people to learn about the soldier's lives here to see the sheer magnitude of the camps. To think that 120,000 soldiers camped in Stafford is incredible even more so that it is larger than the population even today. I'm happy to hear that the board of supervisors is working with developers to preserve the land. We shouldn't forget about the past and let the future steam roll it into a suburb. Hopefully people will come to realize that Stafford isn't so insignificant and boring, or at least it hasn't always been.

Scotty- Very true, very true. 120,000 troops is a lot of soldiers! It's pretty interesting that we are walking where thousands of soldiers used to walk/fight everyday. Preserving the land is important because without learning from the past, we would be in another great tabacle.
