I find it curious, but Culpeper National Cemetery, who is responsible for overseeing Winchester National Cemetery, as not replied to the letter that I sent three months ago. Time for a follow-up.

I like to do a little "tree shaking" from time to time to get to the truth. Hopefully, we can get to the root of this. It is either an assumption and another instance of spiraling Civil War "memory" or it has the potential to be a very interesting story. IF there is any truth to the spy thing, I still think the upright headstones should be replaced. I just hate the idea of how these two stones in their present state might lead first-time Civil War tourists to a series of confused understandings about the war and the people in it. Thanks Craig.

As you could probably tell I'm not much of a grave digger myself. I'm better with tracing down artillery pieces by the numbers on their rimbases. Thus far, what you've uncovered confirms some of my suspicions. I'm inclined to believe there's mix of tribal legend with some nugget of truth. But they probably weren't spies. Just doesn't pass the probability and practicality filters. Great detective work Robert. As you could probably tell I’m not much of a grave digger myself.
