Join me as I travel across counties in two states and the streets of Chambersburg Pennsylvania as I walk in the footsteps of the Confederate Cavalry that were the last to invade the north during the American Civil War. I follow their path that led them to Chambersburg, where they ransomed and then burned and looted the town to strike back against the Union forces that burned private businesses, dwellings, and schools in Virginia. Join me as I explain the story of Confederate revenge in the Burning of Chambersburg!!
