Here's some pix.
This is the catholic church in Harper's Ferry.
This is Dunker's Church.
Proof that I climbed to the top of the watch tower. Eeep! Cold, too. Brisk wind shooting straight across the top from the west (behind me).
Beautiful place today what with the dramatic light and winter colors. I must admit I did not pay much attention to the tape we purchased at the visitors center that detailed the battle that raged here all day Sept. 17, 1862. I only remember two things: that 66% of the casualties are known only to God because their remains were unidentifiable and Lee retreated south to the Potomac under cover of darkness on Sept. 18.
