Jim, I don’t know that the wood road existed 90 years later. But the route has been identified, and for more specific information regarding it you may want to check with Manassas National Battlefield Park. Ask for Jim Burgess.

Jerry, you’re not the only one who has assumed the “real meaning” of the polls. They are what they are, and they ask what they ask.

Harry,

I’ve been looking for a map or relatively good description of the route that Hunter’s and Heintzelman’s divisions took from the Warrenton turnpike to Sudley ford. What I’ve found so far seems to show a vague, arcing route. I’m looking at a USGS topo map from around 1950, and whatever “wood road” they followed doesn’t seem to be shown on it. If you have any better info that you can share, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jim

I take it that the question is to be perceived that the individual hasn’t been introduced to topic yet. I believe a childs introduction will be through the classroom. The other catagories listed in your poll would only be used after the interest or introduction has been initiated by the classroom. How many children of elementary school age will be introduced to the Civil War by their parents or grandparents, in todays culture I fear that number would be extremely low.
