I grew up in Appomattox, VA. Spout Spring is on the west side out routes 24/460. My folks house was in Vera which was out 24 east and north just past the Surrender Grounds. Route 24 was the old Richmond-Lynchburg stage coach road during Civil War times. My Dads Texaco sat on the old road and our house was just off the road. Needless to say we dug up a lot of artifacts (minnie balls, unexploded cannon shells, a bayonet, lots of buttons including some with pieces of gray uniform still attached). Where we lived was where the Confederates encamped before the surrender.

Hardly any comments about 8 people getting murdered. Are we becoming that complacent about mass murders any more?
