In this episode, we find ourselves in Virginia in the middle of the site of a large Civil War Union Army winter camp. Here we have located an old corduroy road bed at about 4 feet down, give or take a foot or two. On this beautiful day many remnants of the Civil War would be unearthed. So grab your shovel and come join the dig!
This is the one that I submitted recently into a film contest. Thanks goes out to everyone that gave me suggestions on which clips to use.
