The stone observatory on the Bloody lane is now finished and ready for visitors. The view from this point alone is worth a visit to the famous Bloody lane as you can take in the entire right to the left nearly four miles. There will be, when all planted, nearly four hundred markers, giving one a good idea of the entire battle field with the advantage of the good roads. Every body ought to visit it and make a study of this great battle.

The Union 24-pounder and the pitfalls of on-the-job training.
It was a gorgeous day at the park so I got out on the battlefield and set up the camera.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
Stay with me.

I originally posted this on my toy soldier blog (toysoldiersforever.blogspot.com), but I think that it's also appropriate for this site as well. Did you have this book?
The Golden Book of the Civil War: the book that launched a thousand careers.
Little Mannie had a watershed that came in three parts in close succession; the LIFE magazine serialized series on the Civil War, a trip to Gettysburg, and The Golden Book of the Civil War...

Hey gang, I'm getting congratulatory comments regarding my new job at Monocacy.
The fact of the matter is that this isn't a new job, it's a sixty-day detail. I'm only here for two months.
Nonetheless, I'm at a Civil War park forty minutes from home (unlike my usual commute of five hours to and from DC) and I get to spend long, delightful, evenings with my wife.
I'd love for this job to be permanent, but I'll take this nice break with joy...

Even though I have a bum knee, I'll be getting out on the trails as much as possible over the next two months. Yesterday I checked out Worthington ford...or at least where Worthington ford was 156 years ago...rivers have minds of their own.
See you on the trail!
