The rest of the war weary is eternal and everlasting. Let us not forget their sacrifice.

Since I live in Chantilly, I studied the battle, unfortunately before your tremendously professional and interesting web site was established! Would have saved a lot of reading! I used to walk my son over what was left of the battlefield, and I think he developed an appreciation for history and sacrifice. Now, of course, there's nothing left but a small park memorializing it. Developers won, not other fathers who could have walked the battlefield with their kids. Shame on Fairfax County.

What a wonderful website! Very well put together with pictures (old & new), aerial, satellite, and topographical maps, etc. The sad thing about all of this is that the same high density building problems are as threatening in Kennesaw, GA as they are in Oxhill, VA. You are right "on the money" in your editorial about younger generations being devoid of their roots. Perhaps "high density" should refer not to the number of homes being built on these historic battlefields, but rather a commentary on the mental state of the developers and politicians responsible for such desecration of these noble dead.

George H. Burnett, Company C, 119th Illinois Infantry Volunteers. Died May 1, 1864 in Alexandria, Louisiana. This is my Great-great Grandfather, and although I have this information, our family has never had the honor of knowing where he was laid to his final rest. For that reason, I thank you for the opportunity to place his name before others eyes, so he also may be saluted for his service to the Union, and it's ideals. I salute all the soldiers and their memory. And to my Great-great Grandfather, George H. Burnett, I honor you, and I will not forget!

Great site!! It would have been nice to have the actual battlefield preserved, but this is a good, albeit unfortunate, substitute
