While driving on the eastern edge of Culpeper yesterday afternoon, I saw the home Colonel Charles S. Wainwright wintered in is gone. The house was in serious disrepair for a number of years. I had not been by the house in months, so I do when or how it finally came down.
Wainwright, who wrote one of the best journals of the war, had his quarters in a room on the first floor of the house in 1864.
