The park service plans to make the landscape look like 1863........... Sounds like a good plan.
OK Everybody...Hold on one minute...While the National Park service wants to cut down viable living trees for the sake of "realism", then perhaps they should get rid of all those cannons lying all over the park stamped with the year 1864 on the end of their barrels. The markings on cannon barrels give the year of manufacture and the iron works or foundry marks where they were made...These particular cannons were not around in 1863 either...Check it out the next time you are in the park.
