"Looking forward to the archeological artifacts uncovered. The widow Sarah Spindle Farm in Spotsylvania, Virginia "...would become the most contested piece of ground in North America" on May 8, 1864."
"Years visiting the battlefield and didn't realize this was here until recently. All of the battlefield is worth visiting, for the history and for the nature. This part is not accessable by wheelchair, it's a grass path."
