walk in their footsteps.

Have you guys seen this Walk in their Footsteps site?  It highlights some of the "regular people" from Virginia's Civil War era and provides a well-rounded picture of the hardships faced by all.  It's also just beautifully designed.

I particularly like the piece about inventor James Hanger.  Though he doesn't usually get much attention, many of you will probably remember the Hanger Prosthetics shop that used to be right next to Domino's on Belvidere.  Yep, that's the guy.

The sidebar also includes some cool resources, like a list of Civil War-related events.  If only there were 8 of me so I could attend all of these things!
