The battle of the wilderness took place in Wilderness Va. Not sure how long the battle lasted, but a son of my one ancestor died there 5 May 1864. The Wilderness battleground is not a National Park or Monument. -- Larry Thompson My genealogy page http://www.epix.net/~lt0168/index.html My Allegheny Co. maps page http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bridge/2338/index.htm
