  • Stopped to get some video of the Confederate Cemetery in Lewisburg, WV today.
    In this cross shaped common grave, lie the bodies of approximately 95 soldiers who lost their lives in the Battle of Lewisburg on the morning of May 23, 1862.
    Always take the time to be a tourist in your own area.

    This is not a channel for anyone to come onto and spew hate or to try and start an argument. This channel is for people to see the history and the beauty in the state of WV and other places in our travels. This is not a platform for people to come in and troll the internet and try to start arguments. If the purpose behind your comments is to degrade our videos or disparage the historical significance of anything that we find interesting to show our viewers, then your comments will be deleted. I know everyone wants an audience and stirring the pot gives people that attention that they crave, but it will not be tolerated on this RUclips channel. I wanted to share why a comment was removed from this video.
    Please, by all means comment about anything that I may historically get wrong. I have made one or two mistakes in my videos and have acknowledged those after doing more research. We like comments, just please keep your snide remarks out of them.

    There is a Cemetary at Stones River. All the white markers lined up like soldiers.
    There is another mass grave of several hundred soldiers with barely a marker.
    One plaque for several hundred men.
    The spoils of war only are extended to the victor.

      @@welcometowv thank you I have low vision and it's difficult to read Wikipedia. I spent some time in Pendleton county and thought the entire area was fascinating.
