After 20 years of thinking about it** my father and I are finally going on our Civil War Road Trip. We're leaving by car (from Vancouver, WA) at the end of May 2014 & plan to be gone for about a month.This book (as well as Week's Civil War Road Trip Vols 1 & 2) was very helpful in planning our trip (I say "we" but it's really my father doing the planning, as he's the historian and the true Civil War enthusiast). Here's our plan:-Endless drive across middle America of which I'll skip the details (probably spent bickering about who should be doing the driving--he's 77 with some cataracts, while I'm an easily distracted driver, or so I've been told--by him).-Shiloh to Chatenooga TN via Savannah at US 64 east tp I-24-Chatanooga to Atlanta GA via I-75, I-16 at Macon to Savannah side jaunt at Macon to Andersonville via I-75 and US 26, return via US 26, state 46 eastward to I-15 at milepost 75)-Savannah to Charleston SC via I-95, then north to Richmond VA, Civil War main battlefields, Petersburg, Appomatox, Cold Harbor and others in Grants 1864 campaign, then north and northwest to earlier battlefields of 1862-1863, e.g.-Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, 1st and 2nd Manassas to the Shenandoah Valley (1862), then Harpers Ferry and Antietam MD, Gettysburg PA.
