Spencer, West Virginia-the old south........

I love the way my husband got this picture of the Confederate flag unfurling--his pics used to be pretty bad--but I guess hanging around me so long-he's finally taking notice of how to take better pics!!  Or my lectures....umm........ 
Atop the hillside of Spencer, W.Virginia is a small park dedicated to the men and women who bravely fought for their beliefs-whether you are Union or Confederate I feel you need to respect and honor these men and women-who fought, struggled, and many died for their convictions-both Blue and Grey.
You gotta love their determination--the large Confederate flag......with a tiny United States flag beside it..still waves today!

While I was attending the most fabulous Chickens In the Road Retreat a few miles down the road--my husband found this little adventure....he's a Civil War buff!   And the Civil War was in more places then I ever would have believed....but he is finding them all !

I'm sorry to anyone who might take offense--but this story is fabulous!!  I would have liked to have met this Nancy Hart-what a woman!

So what do you notice about this pic of the cannon--aimed down at the Yanks.........I'm a damn Yankee thru and thru....but I did enjoy this story!
I love this story....well the part about flying the flag over the privy wasn't very nice of those boys....but it was war..........
