Because of this, Pleasonton requested infantry to support his mounted command. The request was approved and orders were filtered down the chain of command. The assignment fell to Brig. Gen.

After a fateful engagement in Gettysburg, Pennsyl- vania, Fauquier County’s role in the war changed. No longer the cradle of Confederate invasion, the battle lands of Manassas Gap, Auburn, Buckland Mills, and Rappahannock Station II were Lee’s path of retreat. Yet, much as Gettysburg did not end the war, Lee’s retreat was not the last that Fauquier County saw of Civil War soldiers. Throughout the Civil War, the “hallowed grounds” of Fauquier County were con- tested fields of battle. ■ June-July 1863 Goose Creek Bridge in 2008. Photograph by Garry Adelman.

Project Background 2. Public Participation 3. Partnerships within the Master Planning Process and with the Management Entity 4. Master Plan: Themes and Initial Projects 5. Appendices I. Compact for the Tennessee Civil War Heritage Area II. Copies of Returned Survey Forms from Public Meeting Participants III. Copies of Website Comments and Suggestions IV. Selected News and Feature Stories 3 I. Project Background and History In 1995 Congress invited proposals from across the United States for the National Heritage Areas program of the National Park Service. A total of forty-one states submitted proposals and eight were ultimately selected, including Tennessee’s application for a statewide Civil War Heritage Area prepared by the Middle Tennessee State University’s Center for Historic Preservation (CHP) with the assistance of Congressman Bart Gordon. On November 12, 1996, Congress passed Public Law 104-333, which authorized the creation of the Tennessee Civil War Heritage Area. Tennessee, thus, became part of a select group of regions across the country where a federal, state, local, and private partnership coordinate ways to preserve, interpret, and enhance valuable historical and cultural resources. The Tennessee Civil War Heritage Area is one of eighteen congressionally designated heritage areas across the country that represent stories, people, and places of national significance. The National Heritage Areas are: 1. Augusta Canal (Georgia) 2. Automobile Heritage (Michigan) 3. Blackstone River Valley Corridor (Massachusetts and Rhode Island) 4.

    The Mosby Heritage Area SAMPLER A Motoring Tour in the Historic Northern Virginia Countryside The Mosby Heritage Area Association with NOVA Parks The Mosby Heritage Area The Mosby Heritage Area was created from the grass roots in 1995 by a variety of historical, preservation, and conservation organizations as well as interested individuals. Obtaining resolutions of support from the county boards of supervisors and town councils within the proposed heritage area, they produced a model for the nation of a new tool for historic preservation and stewardship education. The heritage area covers some 1,600 square miles, encompassing parts of the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fauquier, Prince William, Clarke, and Warren. The Mosby Heritage Area features heart- catching "lay of the land," indigenous architecture, handsome farms, distinctive speech, historical villages and small towns, a network of miles of small country roads including many still unpaved, the Shenandoah River and the world famous gentle Blue Ridge and its misty foothills. From our multi-cultural 18th century roots brought by Quaker, German, Scots-Irish, and Tidewater English settlers through the years of serving as a key trunk of the Underground Railroad, from the cavalry battles and guerrilla warfare in our region during the Civil War to the creation of freedmen's villages and the nation's hunt country, this historic landscape is a key piece of America's history. Yet it is not just those stories and the treasured landscape on which they occurred that make the Mosby Heritage Area special. It is also the years of individuals, non-profits organizations, and local governments working together to leave future generations some of the best preserved 19th century landscape in America.
