I would like to take the time to share some pictures of my recent visit to the Stones River National battlefield with my readers. Hope you all enjoy!!
Above is what the two armies saw on the eve of the battle.
The cotton field was a strategic location used by both armies, as they could hide in the tall grass.
Cannons were the weapon of choice for both sides during the battle.
I would much rather be on this side of the cannon, wouldn't you?
Above is a picture of Gen. William S. Rosecrans position during the battle.
Above is a picture of Gen. Braxton Bragg's position during the battle.
Above is a picture of the monument at Stones River. It is the oldest monument from the Civil War. Some soldiers are buried inside.
Above is the monument at the McFadden farm. It was here that many soldiers died while trying to cross the river.
The Stones River runs right through Murfreesboro. Many soldiers drowned while fighting in the battle.
Stay tuned for more blog posts about tales from Tennessee and beyond.
