Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War's Famous Battles

October 17, 2017 - October 25, 2017

The Civil War raged across a landscape that now features plaques, old canon, statues & cemeteries.  It all reminds us of a time when brother fought brother in a war that ultimately cost the lives of over 600,000 from the north & south. For this tour, we begin in the nation's capital & end in the former Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia.   Our path takes us to some of the most infamous battlefields of the conflict: Antietam, Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, Cold Harbor, Petersburg.  We will visit the site of the war's first battle at Manassas in July 1861 & we will stand in the room where it all came to an end at the Appomattox Courthouse in April 1865.
