Such highway could be constructed
by Arlington. Alexandria, Mount Vernon.
Manassas. the Wilderness Spoftsylvania
Court House. Yellow Tavern. and thence
on to Richmond. entering that city over
the Brook pike From Richmond, Cold
Harbor. Gaines NH. Fair Oaks. and
Frazier's farm could easily be reached.
Thus a territory would be tapped. m
which the great Confederate chieftain.
as has been said by Lord woolsey. ex-
hi0ited the most consummate strategy
and military genius Of his age. II not OF
ali ages. This would be a patriotic high
way. carrying the American citizen 10
the fields where undyins valor was dis
played by the American soldier.
1t would likewise become a highway of
great commercial value 20 the territory
through which Il extended. benefting
every town. village. and community alike

At Petersburg It should enter a splendid
