AN AMAZING VIEW OF HARPER’S FERRY FROM MARYLAND HEIGHTS — During the Civil War, Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia), was a strategic prize at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, where key rail and canal routes met.

HARPERS FERRY (West Virginia) — A crisp October morning along the Shenandoah River. I always try to imagine what the pre-war and war years would have looked like at this scenic and iconic site. Just to think of the various camps across the surrounding hills and occasional trains coming into town with troops and supplies. Additionally, the several millraces, warehouses, and workshops on the nearby Virginius Island. | Civil Warscapes

Early morning harmony along the Potomac River — just above the historic Lower Town of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. As this area was marched through and occupied by various forces from both sides throughout the war, I always think of the common soldiers in the ranks when I reflect upon these sights and sounds of nature. I hope they had a little time to find moments of peace like this when it was opportune… I’m definitely looking forward to more upcoming fishing and exploring along these stretche
