Close to my home was the battlefield of Port Republic. The battle of Port Republic — and Cross Keys, the previous day — had Stonewall Jackson totally stopping the Union forces. While my dog ran around I read the placards describing the battle. Good God, but Jackson was a genius of maneuver. The Wikipedia entry is a fine description of the battle, but nothing beats actually visiting a site, even if you don’t believe in ghosts.
