Tuesday, September 1, 2009

Hubby and I ate lunch at Crocodile Ed’s in Florence, then we rode to Savannah Tennessee. We parked in front of the courthouse where I began taking pictures.

The Hardin County Courthouse is a Red Brick building, with a clock tower and weather vane. 
It has thirty-two windows across the front, a four column porch with two fireplace smoke stacks.

At Shiloh National Park we stopped and toured the museum. 

Inside the museum we saw famous veterans of the Civil War. 
We saw Maps of Shiloh Battlefield, rebels, Southern Commanders, Ammunition, the long roll, the gunner, northern commanders and soldiers.

In the US National Cemetery we saw a sign,

 "Addressed by President Lincoln at the dedication of The Gettysburg Nation Cemetery November 19, 1863". 

There were many unmarked tombstones.

 Headquarters General US Grand night April 6, 1862. 

There were markers representing the states that fought on the battle field that bloody day.

Bloody Pond still raged with red, reminding us of that tragic day.

We walked atop one of Indian Mounds in Shiloh National Park.
