For anyone interested in preservation, this article in the Sept/Oct issueof Archaeology magazine is very interesting.

One quote I found especially poignant was:
"But while the government provides some tools and modest funding, local initiative, he points out, is pivotal. And that's one of the lessons suggested by these fights over Civil War landscapes. Despite some federal help and the work of private, state, and national groups such as the CWPT, a grass-roots effort is indispensible for many preservation projects, especially in their initial stages."1
