I'm sorry I didn't get to promote your post today--we were out of pocket the first half of the day, and have been having severe weather all afternoon/ evening. It's broken a bit now, so I'm at least able to come comment and gotta try to get my blog for tomorrow posted before it hits again.<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-38450076502792637662013-07-16T14:45:53.790-05:002013-07-16T14:45:53.790-05:00I'd say Tennessee rivaled Virginia for full-sc...I'd say Tennessee rivaled Virginia for full-scale battles, and rivaled Missouri for guerrilla action.Troy D.
