Yesterday, I was browsing across the local newspapers website and I saw this article. This would be a heck of a purchase for the state as it can open up more opportunities for interpretation of the fighting around Fox's Gap. These parcels include Wise's South Field where General's Jesse Reno and Samuel Garland were mortally wounded and the Mahaffey Woods is in the area where Union troops were deployed before the final attack against Fox's Gap.South Mountain by Rick Reeve
