That was very interesting, I am surprised at the large numbers that went into battle. Also the soaked bales, genius idea.

Having lived in Virginia for over a decade, we learned much about the Civil War. I don’t think many folks realize just how extensive the war was. Your article is a great history lesson. Thanks Jeff.
