    Thanks for covering these lesser known but still important battles. The camera work to show the terrain and important features is especially appreciated, as well as the Civil War Trails markers.

      Most of the area would be bare of trees in 1861.

    I Wish you guys would go to Tennessee and Mississippi and cover those battles they do not get much attention these days. Like Corinth and Iuka and Brice's crossroads just to name a few of many.

    Hope you guys consider coming to Charleston. There are historical markers along the Kanawha Boulevard, the confederate spy graves on the Sunrise Carriage Trail, Dickinson Saltworks, Battle of Scary Creek and much more!

    Corrick's Ford isn't in Preston Co., WV it is in Parsons, Tucker Co., WV. I grew up there and I played there as a child.

    I have a recollection of visiting the battlefield site of Carnifex Ferry when I was a child travelling with my Mother on our way to visit my Aunt and cousins in Radford, Va. Will you be doing an episode on that site?

    Very nice. Hope u check out Elkwater. It was a massive encampment and Major thoroughfare in the Tygarts River valley for the troops.

    I think the tag at 24 seconds saying "PRESTON, WEST VIRGINIA" should be PARSONS. William & Deborah Corrick are my great-great-great grandparents. Three of their children came out to Santa Rosa, California. Two others went to Fresno, California and one went to San Luis Obispo, California.

    I wonder if you might do something regarding the 14th WV Volunteer Infantry. Most of my great great grandfathers fought in the 14th, along with other kin.

      As far as we know it is a private residence, but there are trails with interpretive signs all around the park.

    How close is this to Terra Alta? Thats where my GG Grandfather was from he fought with the 6th WV Cavalry, and was captured at New Creek, sent to Libby Prision in Richmond.

      Terra Alta is about 10 - 12 miles or so north.
