[at-l] War but not THAT ONE!

[Ferguson@xxxxxxx (Ferguson, J. Mark)]

Many of the gaps in central and northern VA were used by the South to move =
forces back and forth between the Valley and the northeastern Virginia batt=
lefields.  Jackson's "foot cavalry" comes to mind.  The gaps where Rte 50, =
Rte 33 and I66 especially.  There are some earthworks built to protect one =
of these gaps in the southern part of Shenandoah NP, pretty sure it's Brown=
s Gap.

The Overmountain Shelter, north of Roan Mountain is on the trail followed b=

Anyway, it's the National Victory Historic Trail, suggesting that someone k=
