Joshua's history project took us to a very nice site maintained by the National Park Service.
Important battles took place here during the Overland Campaign and much of the fighting
occurred near the Shelton House, the childhood home of Sarah Shelton, who married
some guy named Patrick Henry on the main floor of this house in 1754.
As we walked through the trail, history came alive and we could see troops massing.
Then we saw a farmer with a very modern pice of equipment,
then we saw these
and the moment was almost lost.
Then we regained our composure and crossed the creek toward sites where soldiers were dug in.
Pretty cool.
