Gang,
I think that this year the list of most endangered and threatened battlefields is one of the best looks across the entire scope of the war yet. Sites range from Gettysburg to Fort Monroe to Glorietta Pass. You may find the reasons why (many of which are also the most enraging yet) at http://www.civilwar.org/mebr2008/index.htm.
The list includes:
Antietam, Maryland
Cedar Creek, Virginia
Cold Harbor, Virginia
Hunterstown, Pennsylvania
Monocacy, Maryland
Natural Bridge, Florida
Perryville, Kentucky
Prairie Grove, Arkansas
Savannah, Georgia
Spring Hill, Tennessee
The 15 at risk battlefields:
Brandy Station, Va.
Fort Monroe, Va.
Fort Morgan, Ala.
Fort Stevens, D.C.
Glorieta, N.M.
Hoke’s Run, W.Va.
Honey Springs, Okla.
Kennesaw Mountain, Ga.
Lovejoy’s Station, Ga.
Mansfield, La.
Petersburg, Va.
