Stones River National Battlefield

Murfreesboro was the site of one of the major battles of the Civil War, with most of Tennessee being on the side of the Confederacy. It was interesting to learn about the 3 days of battle that occurred here and to see the tombstones of so many fallen union soldiers, all with pennies or other coins resting on them. The small tombstones were numbered but otherwise unidentified soldiers.
