    Thanks for the documentary. This will be on my list of places to visit. I have visited a few civil war battle grounds and I always get this sad feeling come over me. So many Americans killed and wounded and there were so many unknown soldiers buried. The sad thing is their families knew them, they just didn't come home.

    was up there about 10 years or so ago. Its a serene place. I think there is one local man buried there who served in the Confederate Army as there was a tombstore there with a name. The Old Stone Church Cemetary and the Slave Cemetary are rather interesting as well.

    I wouldn't go to a c.s.a. cemetery if you paid me.. The c.s.a. stood for HATRED, PREJUDICE & BIGOTRY.... If I want to learn more about the c.s.a. I'll read about it in a history book... Take the statues and the memorials down out of the public domain in the U.S.A... It's not erasing history it's about not HONORING something that was very wrong to begin with.. Like I said read about it in a history book if you need to know more about this dishonorable faction that existed in our nation's history..

    WTF... People get up in arms with people flying a Confederate Battle Flag, but they aren't upset about the National Colors of the Confederacy flying at this Cemetery. That would be like having Cemeteries in Poland that have German Dead from WWII allowing the German Third Reich National Flag and Nazi Flags flying at one. Just saying.

    The New River Gorge Bridge seems to get all of the glory, but this bridge actually provides those afraid of heights with an even more uncomfortable experience. The barriers along the side are much shorter than the New River Gorge Bridge has and it is much easier to see over the edge while driving across it.
