Hi Michael, Hayley and I wondered what to make of the pyrmaid when we were biking through the park. Thanks for clearing it up. I assume Meade broke through Stonewall's lines? That doesn't sound like something he would have liked.

Keep the episodes coming. I could have used these when we were doing our battle studies. :)

Have a good one!

What an interesting feature for a Civil War monument. Is there any record of why they chose the pyramid or is it just to keep people like me guessing?
