I can’t wrap my mind around it all but I know it was real and it is quite humbling if one pauses to think about it.



Do not metal detect any of the sites I took pics. All NPS property.
I was able to visit Bull Run regularly and Harper's Ferry once. Can you even imagine what it must have been like to fight on the ground in HF??? I was in decent shape when I visited and can't believe any army could actually overtake the high ground there. Incredibly pivotal piece of land at the junction of water supply routes. Humbling is correct
