Stones River, unfortunately, is one of the most encroached-upon major battlefields of the entire War. Although a few places like this one and the crucial rock formations still exist, so much housing has appeared over large swaths of the field to render it mostly unrecognizable from New Year's Day 1863. Contrast it with Manassas, or Antietam, or even Gettysburg where you can still get a fairly good sense of the 19th century battlefields.
Came here after learning about General William Babcock Hazen after using one of his portraits as a reference to the style of facial hair I'm currently growing. Great video, will definitely make a stop at this site.
My 3x great grandfather, in the 16th Tenn. Infantry attacked the round forest after having formed up just the other side of the overpass behind you. He was shot in the right arm and was done as he lost the use of his hand for the rest of his life
This has become a must visit for me now!

On the ground where heroes once stood.
