Description
Mountain View from Bolivar Heights WVA,
Hubby and I could see for miles from Bolivar Heights, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in the beautiful state of West Virginia. This was our first visit. Very education, lots of walking, and spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.I didn't realize it until I was wring this paragraph, John Denver wrote about West Virginia, the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River, and much more. When I hear that song, I now can relate to it much more than simply liking the song. Wow!! Visiting Bolivar Heights - Harpers Ferry National Historical Park was a unique kind of experience for hubby and myself. We never knew this place was here.
About Bolivar Heights: "Bolivar Heights witnessed more battle action than any other location at Harpers Ferry. The first battle of the Civil War at Harpers Ferry occurred at Bolivar Heights on October 16, 1861, exactly two years after the commencement of the John Brown Raid. Alarmed by Union forces in the new Confederacy, especially along the Potomac River, a Confederate force under Col. Turner Ashby struck Union Col. John Geary's men at Bolivar Heights. Many Confederates were angry over the Union seizure of a local flour mill, which provoke some of the fighting but soon after the Confederate attack, Geary held the location and forced a Confederate retreat."
