National Park Service (NPS) Chief Historian Emeritus Edwin C. Bearss has called Camp Allegheny "one of the best preserved Civil War sites in the country." Other NPS professionals have compared the historic landscape to that of Little Bighorn Battlefield. The Congressional Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report on America's Civil War Battlefields (1993) contains more modern photos of this site than any other!
Read American Battlefield Protection Program Chief Paul Hawke's August 26, 2009 letter to the Virginia State Corporation Commission.
