That hornet’s nest had to have been hell.


I went to a Park Ranger lecture at the hornets nest. Was a good, informative, display. Dude loved what he did and it showed.

But one of the most bloody moments was actually early in the day. The 6th Mississippi and 23rd TN broke off of Cleburne’s brigade to go around a swamp and ran into a battery shooting cannon shot right down their lines and rifle fire from the front. The 6th MS was almost completely annihilated.

My great grandfather was in the 6th Mississippi. Can’t imagine the things he saw that day
