Same comment about Spotsylvania. The Courthouse and environs are a Federal something or other. The rest of the area is slowly developing.

My great, great grandfather was seriously wounded at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse. He joined two first cousins in Grant's Army for that horrible spring campaign of 1864 which included the Battle of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania. One cousin was mortally wounded in the Wilderness and rests in Arlington National Cemetery.

The three were privates in Company D (Capt. Isacc Fisher) of the 7th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry (Lt. Col. Jonathan Lockwood) which was a regiment attached to 3rd Brigade (Colonel Samuel S. Carroll), 2nd Division (Brigadier General John Gibbon), of the 2nd Army Corps (Major General Winfield S. Hancock)of the Army of the Potomac. I wrote a narrative incorporating some battle history available for view at
