CommentsA wonderful website, thank you.
CommentsYour site gives us the chills but its very educational & sad, I have a deep respect for the south even though every thought it was bad. Everyone makes it seem like everyone in the south had slaves when they didin't only the rich had slaves. So thank you for this wnderfu site.
CommentsI had trouble putting pen to paper on this, I have family who were soldiers that were killed in action in France during WW1. They have no known grave but I like to think that perhaps they are buried under a unknown marker in a military graveyard. Sadly,these soldiers did not even have that, their loved ones had added grief in that they did not know where their son, husband, or brother was buried. Perhaps now those soldiers will rest under a marker also. "Let us never forget those who have gone before us or those who are yet to come." Steve Graham S.C.,C.D. Moonstone Ont Canada

Commentsvery nice site ,it makes me wish i lived back in centreville again.
CommentsMay all the brave soldiers rest forever in peace....there are no words I can use that could express my deep sense of gratitude for what these brave soldiers gave....I never cease to be amazed at the bravery, because of the way battles were fought - standing up & marching into bullets & canon fire. It awes me each time I read of these battles. This was, to me, an extraordinary time to have lived among extraordinary people...This period of history has captivated me since I was 10 years old (a long time ago) and will forever more fascinate me...the nature of those soldiers is incredible...
CommentsThis is a great web page and informative history lesson. I'am glad more of the fallen men from both sides were found and given proper bareals. Now some parts of the battle field might be saved. Keep up the good work.
Commentsthis page is cool i have a project on this thx

CommentsHello, I'm from England Found the site very interesting my only complaint (as such) is the more i found out the more i wanted to know. Would have like to know more about the skeletons recovered, approx age, probable cause of death and in context of what wounds would have been received on 1860's battlefield and by what weapons. Very interested in comparison with articles over here on archaeology.Usually much older, Roman, Saxon, pre-historic etc Much more abstract and more clinical reporting of older periods and much less information known. What i found enthalling was the empathy i could feel with the soldiers remains. You can easily visualise how they must have lived, suffered and died in a period not far out of living memory. |
