Wow! Visiting the major Civil War battle sites is definitely on my bucket list!
Try Cold Harbor. In the woods.
I live in the middle of all the battlefields in VA and they are worth visiting.
I have donated to American Battlefield Trust since they were the Civil War Preservation Trust, many years, to preserve more of that hallowed ground.
There is a picture at the battle field at Spotsylvania of the tree that was shot in half at “Bloody Angle”, the tree itself is in the Smithsonian.
You live where I grew up and have lived mostly when in America and I’ve been surrounded with it

I live now on ten acres precisely 1000 yards southeast of Winstead hill.....Hoods HQ ...for battle of Franklin
My road was traversed a lot
Harrison a house where Cleburne was lain later is 500 yards northwest

My grandpas horse farm west of Jackson Miss on the Jackson Clinton blvd was full of artifacts
My cad was at VMI and we were there a lot and that place was huge that way....folks like the south haters here on this forum have ruined it
I’ve been immersed in WBTS culture all my life except Manhattan and overseas.....in NYC environs it was more revolutionary war which is fascinating too”
#5. Try standing at the top of Little Round Top at Gettysburg, looking down the slope and fields where Pickett led his bloody “charge”, imagining how many bodies were lying there in the sun as the battle raged.
All brave men, but thank God for Chamberlain and his men.
