wow-
This is one of the best ways to connect history with the present day I've seen.
Anyways, I think this is one of McClellan could have won the entire Civil war easily after this battle if he chased after Lee. but after seeing this, it's obvious why he didn't.

This is a really interesting video. Its really cool to be able to connect the war history, to the land that is still there today. Its intereting that the same trees are there from so long ago. Also its cool that the house in the first picture is still there.
