This is an online journal of our travels through approximately 175 miles of "Hallowed Ground" in our beautiful Mid-Atlantic region, beginning in Gettysburg PA, traveling south to Charlottesville VA. We are following the route suggested in the book The Journey Through Hallowed Ground by David Edwin Lilliard (The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, 2006). We plan to visit all of the stops along the route through the course of this year. Please stop by [often] to see where we have been lately!

Loudoun County clips

Holly Morris (Fox 5 news) visits Mom's Apple Pie in Leesburg The Battle at Balls Bluff (Oct 1861). This was an early battle in the Civil. It occurred shortly after the Union defeat at Manassas. East met West (Virginia regiments meet California line) for the first time in the War. Again, the Union troops were beaten badly. Lincoln ordered that "Someone must pay".
