Yes, the National Parks people need more money (or something); the major battlefields in Virginia are poorly marked. There is no bus tour. No tour guides except at Fredricksburg. You rent a tape and take the auto tour but you drive on REAL fast highways with people wanting to do seventy behind you.
It just does not work. Fredricksburg is almost all privatized and built up. The guide there points to a swale in a public road to show where 8000 men were hit.
Sad.
