Facebook LIVE from Payne’s Farm 155
Today is the 155th anniversary of the battle of Payne’s Farm, the most significant action of the Mine Run Campaign.
I had the chance to commemorate the day with the American Battlefield Trust out in the field and on Facebook LIVE. What a great day in the field with (from left to right, crossing the Payne Farm field) Tim Smith, Dan Davis, Garry Adelman, and ECW co-founder Kris White.
