Reconstruction of a stone wall along the sunken road .

The Sunken Road

As I stood reading this sign in the Frederickburg National Cemetery my hair on the back of my neck and arms stood on end. Being at that place was kind of over whelming  to me all I could think about was how the soldiers on both sides paid the ultimate price ...standing up for what they believed in .

This statue stands in the middle of the cemetery.

A creative view of the statue . This is my favorite one .I took it with my digital camera.

 

View of some of the Union graves. Its a somber sight to see .

This is Willis Hill cemetery . George Washingtons Nephew is buried here. This cemetery was standing way before the Civil War . You can see as you enter the Cemetery where it was shelled during the war.

You can see the place where the wall was shot with shell .

George Washington Lewis...is our first presidents nephew who was the son of Betty Lewis .

Thi sold mansion sets by the graveyard ...it is now a museum. It was closed while we were there .

The confederates stood on this hill to fight off the union soldiers down on the Sunken Road.

A cherry tree in full bloom .

An old house that stood during the Civil War. You can see places inside where it was struck by cannon balls .

Another beautiful statue memoralizing a volunteer who risked his life to bring comfort to the dieing soliders on both sides. He was from SC.

A monument at the Chancelorville Battlefield for the confederates .

The inscription on the monument that marks the area where Stonewall Jackson was shot .

This pic shows two men leaning on a rock. This rock was placed in the exact spot where Stonewall was mistakenly shot by his own men. You can see Mike and Barry recreating the shot in front of the sign. I will place my 35mm pics I took  here when I have time . Those pictures took with some sort of smudge or something on them...which is odd cause everything before and after took perfect.
