Samy,
Wasn't there a battle there during
"The War of Northern Aggression"
Reagan
Harpers Ferry is a beautiful spot and well worth a visit if you are in the area!
Several battles took place here during "The War of Northern Aggression". However it is most famous for being the place where Lt Col.Robert E Lee commanded and led a force of 87 U.S. Marines in the apprehension of abolitionist John Brown and his followers. Brown and his men had attacked and captured a weapons arsenal in Harpers Ferry. Following his capture Brown was taken to nearby Charles Town where he was tried, found guilty of treason, and hung.
Lee's aide-de-camp during this operation was another famous to be Confederate officer, Lt J.E.B. Stuart. This was before "The War of Northern Aggression" (1859) and both Lee and Stuart were still in the U.S. Army.
Also Harpers Ferry is not far from the Antietam Battlefield at Sharpsburg, MD where the bloodiest single day battle of the War was fought September 17th, 1862. (22,717 dead, wounded and missing.) The National Park Service has done a wonderful job in laying out the battlefields, the combatants, and their locations. It too is a great place for a walking and photographic tour.
And that my friends ends my history lesson for today!
