Readers of my blog know I like to explore in my travels.... today's adventure was a visit to the Chancellorsville Battle Grounds a notable Civil War conflagration which ultimately cost Stonewall Jackson his life.

| Entrance to the park on a fine December day |
 |
| A cannon ball lodged in a tree |
 |
| The spot where General Jackson was wounded by his own men during a night reconnaissance mission |
 |
| Out building where the General died eight days later. The wounded General was brought back to Guinea Station, a safe location near a rail station where it was hoped the recovering General could eventually return to Richmond. |
You can read about the plantation where the General past
here. The out building is all that is left today.

| Round bales, square bales and a really creative mind |
