The Battle of the Wilderness was the first battle between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. The battle cost 4,000 soldiers their lives and wounded 20,000 others and started the final push towards the end of the war. Its site, Wilderness Battlefield near Fredericksburg, is one of the most historic spots in our nation’s history. And you know what wants to set up camp? Wal-mart. From Ken Burns to David McCullough, historians are taking arms (or at least, pens) against the big bad corporation. Forget mom and pop, these guys want to dance all over the graves of your mom’s mom’s mom and your pop’s pop’s pop. According to the AP report (via WTOP), a letter signed by some 250 scholars put Wal-Mart on notice: “The Wilderness is an indelible part of our history, its very ground hallowed by the American blood spilled there, and it cannot be moved.”
