Captain Ahab said:Great stuff - I am a huge civil war amateur historian. Reading a new civil book each week now (on the Kindle ). Gettysburg is only a few hours from my house and I have several friends who live there so i visit fairly often. When i was younger I convinced my parents to take me on an all summer camping tour of many of the battlefields - Antietam was especially moving and I still want to fish Antietam creek near what is now called Burnside Bridge:
Fredericksburg (Marye's Heights) was also a pretty awe inspiring place to visit if you get a chance.
On a side note - the area were I live is full of Revolutionary war sites - I often fish exactly were Washington crossed the Delaware River to attack Trenton on Christmas day, 1776, trout and smallmouth fish Valley Forge National Park and fish were the battle of Brandywine took place.
Washington's also marched very near to where my house is located n their way to Trenton

It was the 2d shelling by the Union that actually destroyed most of the Fort - I read a great book about the various artillery and other methods used against that Fort, interesting stuff about the destructive capabilities of a rifled vs. smooth bore large caliber gun
