All that remains to be done over the next month or so is to finalize the prepress details and prepare the book for printing. Our target release date currently looks to be somewhere around September to October 2010. We will continue to post updated information as available so check back here from time to time.
UPDATE : AUGUST 28, 2010 - The last two+ months of relocating years worth of personal belongings has slowed everything in our day to day lives. Despite the disruption AMONG THESE HALLOWED GROUNDS continues to move towards completion. The goal remains to have the book printed and available to the public during the September - October timeframe. We will post updates on this page as they become available.
Fading Memories 
Among These Hallowed Grounds will provide the reader with both a photographic and a written guide to the journey through the Hallowed Ground Corridor. We will follow the general route of the old Carolina Road, now better known as as U.S. Route 15, from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania through historic Frederick, Maryland and on into the state of Virginia ending in the general vicinity of present day Charlottesville, Virginia and surrounding sites. This region is often referred to as the birthplace of America. 
An Ominous Sign
The Hallowed Ground Corridor region is rich in early American history and was home to many of our nation’s founders in addition to being an important path for the Underground Railroad movement and the westward migration of the early settlers. Though important in many ways to the early growth of the country this region is probably best remembered today as the site of many of the key battles of the Civil War, an infamous conflict that pitted Americans against Americans and nearly destroyed the young country.
