On my previous post-dated May 20th, I told you about a Civil War battlefield that has been put on our Nation’s 25 Most-Endangered List by the Civil War Preservation Trust.
After I had posted this announcement I received a reply from Ann Brownlee, President of the Trading Ford Historic District Preservation Association asking me to help by getting the word out. So this is what I’m doing.
PLEASE! PLEASE! All you Civil War Historians and you all that love our country; do you want to see our ancestors sacred land that they fought and died for go up in machinery smoke, car fuel and oil? I DON’T!
PLEASE, go to this site and Sign the Petition:

You can also visit this site Stoneman’s Raid: Salisbury and the Yadkin River Bridge to read about the battle. At the top of this page you will see a link called “What can you do” this will also give you more information.
Let’s don’t loose our Countries History and your Ancestors that fought for it!
You recently posted a comment on our blog about our staff's trip to Antietam with Ed Bearss and I wanted to let you know the staff had a great time and loved the depth of knowledge that Ed Bearss brought to the trip.

The slideshow of pictures can be found if you click on the large group photo near the bottom of the page and the videos are buttons about half-way down under the video headers.
I also wanted to let you know we are working with the National Trust for Historic Preservation on a tour with Ed Bearss called "A Civil War Journey" from September 2-8, 2008.
Here's the link for the tour:
