How is it that Stafford, a place few of us can wait to leave, has so much history? I simply don't understand... between the article about Pocahontas being in Stafford County earlier this year and this article about the Civil War troops, we as people who live here never knew any of this, for the most part. I have read the historic sign out front of the Stafford Courthouse, and I know it talks a lot about the Civil War. The statue outsode the courthouse is in honor of the Virginians who died, I believe. It's definitely important to cherish and preserve these kinds of places and memories of the town everyone here thinks of as the-middle-of-nowhere, USA. History can be fascinating when you stop to think, but it's something all of us take for granted.
