Organ Cave Virginia, (now w. Virginia) General Lees gun powder factory, the cave was chosen by Bobby Lee because it was a place he was familiar with from his youth and because of the large deposit of salt peter. 75% of the Confederacies gun powder was manufactured here. The hoppers visible were constructed by our boys and the dirt in them was placed there by our soldiers just prior to us abandoning the cave close to the end of the War. By the way there was a yankee camp on top of the cave and they never found it. ~Clay~
