149 years ago was the Battle Of Stones River in Murfreesboro, Tn. during the War Of Northern Agression. I went there today and watched a great reinactment, of both Union & Confederate actor soldiers, firing both muskets and artillery.
The Battle Of Stones River, was a major win for the Union. It set up a place to move South to Chattanooga, then on to Atlanta and on to the Ga. coast.
For the Cavalry fans, this area of the Stones River was one that Gen. Forrest knew well, as the little town of Kittrell, TN. on the Rutherford/Cannon Co. line was the home of his wife.
