    I live about 5 miles from there. Very pretty, the rails to the south are still there and are used by trains today. The road is rte 619, goes all the way to Quantico.

    I think is video is the best about the retreat. I've watched it half a dozen times. Been to most battlefields in the east. Anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFIksP86OPw Tragic the South lost.-sammy
