I'm going to do a CWEA tour of Franklin next week and thought I'd snag a visit to Stones River Battlefield while I'm at it. Have any of you been to it? How well is it marked and preserved?
I had several ancestors that saw heavy action on the Union right and left. On the right my ancestors in the 42nd Indiana of Beatty's Brigade moved into position to the right of Sheridan in the Cedars as things started heating up. They were pushed back across a field to the Nashville road where the line held.
On the left my ancestors of the 21st Kentucky (Union) were in the Round Forest area in Price's Brigade. They were pushed back until the artillery was brought up and devastated the Confederate assault.
