Description
Junior Ranger and Earth Day:
How did the Civil War effect the very landscape on which soldiers fought? How did the soldiers of that era move across the battlefield landscape? Join a hike of Monocacy National Battlefield with a ranger to discuss the changing affects to the enviroment from the period of the Civil War right up to the modern day.
Afterwards you can "enlist" to learn the basic drill and movements that would have been utilized by the armies of both sides and how they would have manuevered over the landscape.
