Oh man, if I lived on a site like that, I'd have a newfound love of long walks in the woods...

There are 25 acres of woods next to my property that sit between the Union and Confederate line. Three battlefields right here with hundreds of acres of woods available for walking. A lot of it is National Park Service land, but not the land next to mine.

Michael, do I correctly assume that you are referring to the First and Second Manassas battlefields in Prince William County near the City of Manassas?

Val, no, I live on the Chancellorsville battlefield off of Plank Rd. Part of the first days battle. The side of my yard, which is 600' long, faces the Confederate rifle pits on McLaws Drive. All of the Chancellorsville and Wilderness battlefields are within 4 miles of my house. Spotsylvania Court House battlefield is about 5 miles away.

Apparently, Ruth and his family occupied the entirety of the floor where the apartment in question is situated. It's since been divided up into several smaller units. Only a portion of Babe's apartment is available for $1.59M. Makes me wonder what the total square footage was when Ruth had the floor to himself.

Also, in that great photo of Ruth pouring himself a ridiculously small beer, I'm seeing what might have been a multi-signed document on the wall behind him. I'd love to know what that was.
