This week is the 144th anniversary of the Stones River Battle from the Civil War. This battle was known as the major battle with the highest percentage of losses for both sides from the entire War. This battlefield contains the nation's oldest intact Civil War monument, erected by William Hazen's brigade at Hell's Half Acre. The 600 acre (2.4 km²) National Battlefield includes Stones River National Cemetery, established in 1865, with more than 6,000 Union graves. (Thanks Wikipedia!) There will be reinactments this weekend and I can't wait to go photograph that! So, look....enjoy....please comment...and vote.

I like the thumb - the B&W is a perfect touch. Sepia would be good too, especially if you photograph any battle shots during the upcoming re-enactment. Where is this battlefield?

- f8 and be there...

Located in Murfreesboro, TN. Considered one of the bloodiest battles of the war. I usually do shoot the reenactments in sepia. They will be doing it over the weekend. What is neat is the battlefield is in the middle of town.
