Forward from several other lists:

New York and Vermont are very underepresented - lets let them know!!!!

>The American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) invites you to
>participate in the selection of our initial list of battles and
>associated
>sites of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.  The ABPP
>has been working for more than a year to identify sites in preparation
>for the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 Historic Preservation
>Study, as mandated by Congress.  After months of
>consulting primary and secondary sources, State Historic Preservation
>Offices, and the National Register of Historic Places we have identified
>an
>initial list of nearly 1,600 sites.  However, our task is not complete.
>No single source provides an accurate comprehensive listing of all
>the significant events pertaining to these two wars.  We based our
>research on the best available sources given limited time and
>resources.  For this reason we believe our list
>may be incomplete and some entries may need to be corrected.
>
>Now we need your help.  For the next six weeks, the list of sites will
>be available for public comment and review on the ABPP web site,
>www2.cr.nps.gov/abpp/.  The interactive site allows you to comment on
>listed sites, recommend new sites to the list, and even recommend
>deletions. Since we will be making changes to the site as we receive
>and review comments, you may wish to check the site several times.
>Your comments will help the ABPP create a
>final, comprehensive site list for use in the national study.  The
>comprehensive list will be the starting point for prioritizing
>significant events, defining campaigns, and guiding our selections for
>field survey.  Although only a small portion of the sites will be field
>surveyed, the comprehensive list will be
>included in the final published report to the Secretary of the Interior.
>
>If you do not have access to the Internet, please request paper copies
>of the site lists from the National Park Service at 1849 C Street, NW
>(NC330),
>Washington, DC 20240, (202) 343-3941, or [log in to unmask]  Thank you
>for your interest and assistance with the study.

>Sincerely,
