New Market Battlefield Trip

We went on a field trip to the New Market Battlefield.  We participated in the soldier program, so we learned a lot about the VMI cadets who helped the Confederate Army win this battle.  Here the "soldiers in training" are marching across the field- just as the VMI cadets did in 1864.  Ahead you can see the Bushong farm, which was situated in the middle of the battle and served as a hospital.
