| Wadley behind the stonewall on the Sunken Road at Marye's Heights |
 |
| She helped bandage up wounded Confederates at Fredericksburg. I hope someone considers me their friend on my tombstone. |
 |
| The view from Marye's Heights - the Union was supposed to charge up this hill against entrenched Confederates behind the stonewall and against artillery where I took this picture. Shockingly, it didn't work. |
 |
| Fredericksburg cemetery - very cool |
 |
| Genius. |
 |
| The Bloody Angle at Spotsylvania - no clue why we had to call someone for information about the scene. |
 |
| Stonewall Jackson memorial. |
 |
| (Moment of silence) |
 |
| Original monument for Jackson's wounding - monuments have improved over the years. |
 |
| Did we make a special trip to see a man's buried arm? Yes we did. |
 |
| The Wilderness - where men fought in fire. Pete Longstreet was wounded where I was standing (also by his own men, but he survived). |
 | |||
| The Bloody Angle - it poured rain on us here. We made a special point to get out of the car to see this and there was NOTHING to see. |
 |
| The Jackson Shrine - where he caught pneumonia and died |
 |
| The rain stopped for us to visit the Jackson Shrine. He wasn't buried here like I thought, but is actually buried in Lexington, VA...WHERE WE WERE LAST SATURDAY! How did we miss that? Damn... |
 |
| The exact bed where Jackson died. Same blanket too. |
