Protect Mt. Zion

We must save our history. If we don't know where we have come from, how are we to know where to go.

we must save history1 I am with you. nae

Too much of Virginia’s history has been destroyed. Let us at least preserve what we can in the name of accuracy

Please see that this Hallowed Ground is protected.

Any sense of history will save this sight. You can be from either side and understand that we can't destroy the history of this Commonwealth. Only people with no value on the true story of the past would allow the destruction of this sight.

Protect Mount Zion!

Too important ground to pave over or develop! What ever happened to leaders who care about Loudoun's heritage? Stop the greed; restore common sense.

Everyone should pass this email along and explain the importance of keeping this land sacred

All hallowed ground must be protected by law just as other monuments are.

please protect this vital part of our American History. This area of Virginia is God's Country.

LOUDOUN has enough development. Stop the GREED.

Please preserve history and open land.

My Great Uncle William Armistead McAtee – Enlisted 3/1/62 in Co. H, 1st VA. Cavalry (Stuart’s Cavalry) for 2 years or the war by Captain Carter at Union, Va. Present on muster rolls until appearing as “sick, on furlough” or “sick at home” on Nov. 1862 thru Dec. 1863 rolls. WIA 8/30/62 at 2nd Manassas. “Sabered from back of skull to his back”. Appears on July – Sept. 1864 as “sick at home”. Born 1837 in Loudon County, Va. Died 1903. Buried Stones Chapel Presbyterian Church cemetery, near Berryville, Va. Noted on headstone as having been affiliated with 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry – Mosby’s Command, Company unknown. About 800 men officially mustered into the unit by the end of the war. Almost 2000 (counting the 800) rode with Mosby at one time or another. However, part of the unit's success was because Mosby fought his command in a decentralized fashion - multiple combat patrols out at the same time. The most men Mosby ever had together for one fight was the Berryville wagon Train Raid on 13 August 1864. He had 300-350 men with him. This land must be preserved!

Hallowed ground, needs to be protected t all costs!!!

This is Hallowed Ground. Men, North and South died here. Keep their memory alive and please develop/build elsewhere.

The supervisors should vote for history.

This historic site needs to be preserved. So much has happened here. This petition needs to be sent to the County Supervisors.

Enough already! This is too important an area from an historical viewpoint. Please, think of the future.

Definitely need to save this land!!! It is hallowed ground.
