Has anybody been out and toured Champion Hill at all? I tried to go see the battlefield this past August but all I found was a small plaque with a bunch of no trespassing signs behind it. When I looked at the Civil War Trust's page for it, it seemed like there shouldn't have been any problems visiting and walking around the site.
I saw that the State of Mississippi owned a sizable amount what is left of the battlefield. I didn't know if Mississippi was still smarting of the beating that Grant and the North gave them. Since Champion Hill was a Northern Victory I don't know if they would want to even remember that battle.
