Professor Poland sent me a notice on the West Virginia Field Trip which will be May 19-21, 2006. It will cover the southern half of the Union western invasion corridor into then-Virginia in 1861. Registration opens on March 28; see the NVCC.edu website.

Teacher Charles Poland Jr. wrote a detailed book covering the 1861 struggles for West Virginia called The Glories of War: Small Battles And Early Heroes Of 1861 so he's an expert on the action there. He's also an enthusiastic and skilled tour leader.
