Username: CommentsI was grieved to hear of the distruction of the civil war battlefields. It is a part of our hertiage that can never be replaced. I don't understand why people stood by and watched it be destroyed. I think they have done to little to late. It can never be brought back. It's not like something that can be restored back to it's natural state. I do hope nothing else is destroyed in that area of dear old Virginia. If we don't have any heritage left, how can we tell our children and grandchildren of what our ancestors fought and gave their lives for. A parent can make a child understand better if they are walking across a battlefield where it all happened. I know that because I have been there and done that.

CommentsThank you for your work in the construction of this web site and the telling of the marvelous story of the battle of Ox Hill. Informative and well researched, this is a wonderful tribute to the soldiers who fought and sacrificed so much in this battle. It's sad that this battle site like so many other historical landmarks are being lost to development. Fortunately your project and others like it are raising the consciousness of people and hopefully we can preserve future sites from this type of destruction. Just recently another group of historical preservationist successfully saved one of the very first civil war battle fields (Rich Mountain in Beverly West (Western) Virginia). It seems incredible that this extraordinary historical site was almost lost to development and strip mining. It is only through the dedicated efforts of groups like yours, that these remarkable historical treasures will be preserved. Again my sincere thanks for your wonderful site.
CommentsGood site.
CommentsI found your site interesting, thorough, and I think it is well done. I've studied the war since 1960, I'm a reenactor, and I've written a regimental history of a Union cavalry regiment. My praise to you comes from this historical perspective.
CommentsThis is truly an excellent site, and have found such useful information here - please keep up the great work - I've bookmarked it already for my future visits. George: http://digital-price.com

CommentsWOW, what a great and informative site. Kudos to all involved! What a tragedy to have lost another important piece of our history to the careless greed of developers.
CommentsThis is a truly fascinating website. I find the information to be thorough and well written. I am so glad that there are people who feel strongly enough about a period in our history, to research and write such a well done essay.
