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!
