I am a sixth grader and an Amercian military history buff with my interest mainly being the events surrounding the Civil War. I was lucky enough to be born only minutes from the Antietam Battlefield and only a few miles further north to Gettysburg, but last year my family moved to Minnesota. Now I am a member (musician- fife player) for the 1st Minn. Vol. Infantry. I also play baseball and the trumpet. I created this blog in order to connect with other Civil War history fans.
Check out this ARTICLE about Camp Lawton, a Union prisoner camp back in 1864.
Some of the artifacts are in good condition for being found in 2010 but its very cool and a great way to kick off my blog.
