Hello 4th Grade!

This week, I went to the Beaverdam Depot to set the stage for this week’s installment of Stonewall Hinkleman and the Battle of Bull Run.  Although the setting of the book is actually Manassas, Virginia and does not take place in Hanover County, where I live, lots of Civil War action took place throughout Virginia. My “hometown” of Beaverdam is one of those places. Below the pictures is this week’s chapter. I said in the video that I would send you a link for more information about the Depot, but I did not find the site I was looking for. I guess I need the local library, which unfortunately is closed. 

The Beaverdam Depot was very pivotal for transporting troops and supplies.
