Sorry!  Of course there's Saltville.  Never mind.  I think my exhausted brain needs to go home.  --Sally

Saltpeter again!  If a slave was tasked with "mining salt" in Virginia from 1863-1865, is it fair to assume he mined saltpeter?  Do we have other salt mining sites in Virginia?
Many thanks for all the help with saltpeter in Virginia.  I now know more about saltpeter than I ever thought I'd care to know!
