Coast to Coast and In Between
A Lesson in History (D)
I appreciate living in a place where during a Sunday drive it's possible to stumble upon a piece of history I didn't know existed. We spotted the Mt. Zion Old School Baptist Church and stopped because the building looked interesting. Next to the church is a cemetery and while it contains a number of grave markers these caught my attention. On July 6, 1864 Mosby's Rangers attacked and killed, wounded or captured over 100 Union soldiers. Mosby had eight men wounded and only one of those mortally wounded. The grave markers in this picture are those of 12 Union soldiers killed during that battle.
