I am glad to hear they are doing something to raise money for preservation. I just read a story this morning were a guy wants to develop most of the Chancellorsville Battlefield into a small town with 2.4 million square feet of office space and more than 2,300 homes. He said "There were 250 square miles involved in the battle of Chancellorsville. You can't save 250 square miles." So I guess he is saying if you can't save it all destroy it all? It's a bad argument but there are many out there with no regard for history destroying these important links to the past with arguments like this.
