Kanawha Valley Campaign Photos

I finished posting the photos of this spring's Civil War Trip. You can start at the Ohio River and page through the entire trip. There are over 30 photographs and some are pretty nice. We were blessed with great weather and the scenery in West Virginia is gorgeous (especially the gorges! Oh, sorry if you hate puns.)

I still need to write the narrative for the overview pages for that trip but at least the picture story is done. I started the pages in Photoshop and then refined every single one in Dreamweaver so it took a long time.

There does not seem to be a whole lot written on the Union Army's struggle to cross the Kanawha Valley, even on the web. The only thorough source I've found is Dr. Poland's book The Glories of War, written by our fearless leader.
