Yeah, I just saw that last week. I did seem pretty freshly tended.
There are a lot of Sheltons living in that area.
isn't that just past Shelton Laurel?
I would have said that it was the NC area, but apparently not!
FWIW, those were Union soldiers who had come home on leave and were ambushed by Confederates as they prepared to return to their regiments.
Here is a good story of the site. It's decorated every year. http://www.pbase.com/ronmetcalfe/200...onday&page=all
