Historic Markers of Jefferson County

This is a map of the 25 Civil War Battle Markers in Jefferson Co., WVa. The Sons of the Confederacy, Jefferson County Camp #123, commissioned John C. Heinze ( my husband's GGrandfather) to construct these obelisks in 1910. The markers have been moved slightly out of sight to deter vandals.

The map is taken from the book: Military Operations in Jefferson Co. ( Va. & WVa.) - 1861-1865 This book also contains; Eyewitness Accounts of Civil War Skirmishes. It was last reprinted in 1994 by Charles Adams
