I recently enjoyed the BGES battles of Nashville tour (part 2) with CWT's own historian Hal Litchford. Here are some photos I took- hope you enjoy.

Site of Blockhouse #2 where some of the inital fighting took place. USCT took some heavy losses fighting for this blockhouse.

Period log cabin village in Melrose Plantation/Woodlawn Cemetary. We found out later Dolly Parton had been interred in this cemetary earlier that morning.

Yet with determination, Mary would provide intelligence to the Union, information whose importance would soon be tested in one of the fiercest naval engagements of the war: the "Battle of the Ironclads."

Today during our tea time, we meet this remarkable woman and discover how she accomplished her dangerous mission and earned her place in history as a "heroine" of the Union Navy...

Mission Statement

CivilWarTalk is a forum for students and fans of the American Civil War. Our online community of Historians, Skirmishers, Re-enactors, Educators, and Enthusiasts is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and information related to the War Between the States. Our goal is to become the leading resource for every researcher seeking historical information and opinions relating to the American Civil War.

The American Civil War

The American Civil War, arguably the most traumatic event in the history of the United States, was fought from 1861 to 1865, and was the culmination of sectional issues which deeply divided the country between a pro-Federal government North and a pro-states rights, in the pro-slavery South, whose eleven states formed a breakaway government called the Confederate States of America. The costliest war in terms of human lives, the American Civil War claimed in excess of 620,000 battle or disease-related deaths - roughly two percent of the country's total population, and nearly more deaths than all other American wars combined.
