   What a great resource, Brady! Excellent stuff.

   These are GREAT, Brady! Jim, we will definitely want this slide show of Brady’s on our course blog.

   I went to the Fredericksburg Cultural Museum yesterday- the old bank building across from Hyperion. They have a small interesting display about civilian life in the Civil War that we might make extra credit or something– a list of Fred sites like the museum, the slave auction block, etc.??

   I learned several new things: that Fred’s population prior to the war was about 9% free blacks (surprisingly high; as you probably know, among other places they lived in the area Libertytown); that as many as 10,000 slaves from Fred and surrounding counties (Spotsy, Stafford, Caroline) crossed the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg to reach the Union Army and freedom; that about 2000 of the 5000-6000 people living in Fred during the 1862 battle fled town as refugees for awhile.

   I agree, this is quite cool. Should I use one of these for part of the header image of the course site?

   I like the one you’re already using, but if you like something better here sure.

   In San Antonio, there are many apartments off Fredericksburg Road from which to choose, that are also, and conveniently, in close proximity to the Medical Center.
