At some point, I'd like to spend a summer touring the major western battlefield sites, and I wanted to get the opinion of more experienced travelers.
Now, a basically chronological tour (February 1862-March 1865), following the Army of Tennessee would go something like this:
Fort Donelson -> Nashville -> Shiloh -> Corinth -> Perryville -> Murfreesboro -> Chickamauga -> Chattanooga -> Atlanta -> Franklin -> Nashville -> Bentonville
Now, much as I'd love to do this, I'll have to shorten this. My current plan is "December 1862-September 1864", going something like this:
Murfreesboro -> Chickamauga -> Chattanooga -> Atlanta
For Atlanta, I plan to pretty follow Sherman and Johnston's path to around the city, then tour the traces of the fortifications. About how many days should we spend at each site to properly take it in? I expect Chickamauga to take several days to explore its necks and hollers. By the way, would anyone like to help me kidnap Dave Powell? I'll need his help for that battlefield.
