Folks-
I want to bring to your attention the 2008 Preservation March taking place November 1-2, 2008. See the attached flyer for more information.
Please consider marching in it, or supporting someone who is march. Not only is the money we can raise important to our efforts, but also the publicity. We need to show the public that 1) this problem of dissappearing battlefields exists, and 2) that there are people who care and are working to mitigate the problem.
We'll never save all the land, but let's save as much as we can. A great point was made to me recently that so many of the battlefields are still graveyards. These are sacred places. A memoir I just finished reading spoke about a farm where the ground was so blood soaked from battle that it took years before they could get crops to take root.
This march is being supported and promoted by the Civil War Preservation Trust which gives us a unique opportunity to get our message of Battlefield Preservation out to the widest audience.
There is a website you can visit for more information, it may not be entirely complete to check it often for updates.
