Description of Pictures: RICHARD DREYFUSS JOINS CIVIL WAR PRESERVATION TRUST TO UNVEIL REPORT ON ENDANGERED BATTLEFIELDS

Academy Award-Winning Actor Helps Unveil Report Identifying America’s Most Endangered Battlefields

(Washington, D.C.) A bucolic Maryland battleground threatened by a trash incinerator’s unsightly 350-foot-tall smokestack; a verdant Virginia forest where Generals Lee and Grant first faced off, now jeopardized by a behemoth big-box retailer; and a charming Mississippi town spared from the torch but not from a highway are some of the nation’s most endangered Civil War battlefields.

At a news conference this morning, the Civil War Preservation Trust (CWPT) unveiled its annual report on the status of the nation’s historic battlegrounds. The report, entitled History Under Siege™: A Guide to America’s Most Endangered Civil War Battlefields, identifies the most threatened Civil War sites in the United States and what can be done to save them.

“In town after town, the irreplaceable battlefields that define those communities are being marred forever,” said CWPT President James Lighthizer. “As we approach the Sesquicentennial of the bloodiest conflict in our nation’s history, we need to be more aware than ever of the importance of preserving these sacred places for generations to come.”

Joining Lighthizer at the news conference announcing the report was actor Richard Dreyfuss. Best known for his roles in films like American Graffiti, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and his Academy Award-winning turn in The Goodbye Girl, Dreyfuss is also an avid student of history and has been involved in numerous documentary projects, including The Great Battles of the Civil War and Lincoln.

Of the growing need for historic preservation Dreyfuss said, “These hallowed battlegrounds should be national shrines, monuments to American valor, determination and courage. Once these irreplaceable treasures are gone, they’re gone forever.”

2009 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji. Trips this year: Niagara Falls, NY, New York City, Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
