Thanks John. The last time I visited Nashville I wanted to see the battlefield. I was disappointed there isn’t much that remains.
ReplyDeleteThe USCT's fought in James Steedman's Division on the US left flank/CS right flank against Overton Hill. I'm assuming this action you describe is near Overton Hill?
ReplyDeleteIn Thomas Wood's report of these attacks he stated: "After the repulse, our soldiers, white and colored, lay indiscriminately near the enemy works at the outer edge of the abatis."
