Welcome!

This is the website for information about the upcoming book Among These Hallowed Grounds by Russell C. Poole and published by Phoenix Imagery Press, LLC. We will continue to update this site as Among These Hallowed Grounds progresses towards a release date. We will try to add links and progress updates as we move towards a release date.

UPDATE 11/5/2011 : We are still in the process of reviewing the printing options available to us. The intended goal is to produce a hardcover traditional book but we are also researching the concurrent production of an e-book edition to allow our readers additional options. We do not yet have a definitive release date but are continuing to work on images and layout / design in an effort to complete and publish the book in the near future.

We would like to thank you for your continued interest and support of this project and we will keep you posted at this page as information develops.

Thank you for your support. - Russ Poole

Among These Hallowed Grounds will provide the reader with both a photographic and a written guide to the journey through the Hallowed Ground Corridor. We will follow the general route of the old Carolina Road, now better known as as U.S. Route 15, from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania through historic Frederick, Maryland and on into the state of Virginia ending in the general vicinity of present day Charlottesville, Virginia and surrounding sites. This region is often referred to as the birthplace of America.

 The Hallowed Ground Corridor region is rich in early American history and was home to many of our nation’s founders in addition to being an important path for the Underground Railroad movement and the westward migration of the early settlers. Though important in many ways to the early growth of the country this region is probably best remembered today as the site of many of the key battles of the Civil War, an infamous conflict that pitted Americans against Americans and nearly destroyed the young country.
