Morgan’s Great Raid

Morgan’s Raid at Tebb’s Bend Green River Bridge

 

July 4, 1863

327 Tebbs Bend Road  
Campbellsville Kentucky 42718

The 4th of July of 1863 was not a good day for the Confederacy. In addition to the surrenders at Vicksburg and Gettysburg, John Hunt Morgan was repulsed 8 times at the Battle of the Green River Bridge, also called Tebb’s Bend. For many miles away, locals at first thought the sound of gun fire was the celebration of Independence Day.

This tour includes three 360 panoramas. Some of the signage from the 12 tour stops are included in them. There are miles of walking trails and a picnic pavilion at the parks entrance.

Contact Tebb’s Bend Battlefield Association for more information.

Munfordville

The Battle of Munfordville Kentucky 

 

The Battle of Munfordville (also known as the Battle of Green River) was an engagement in Kentucky during the American Civil War. Victory there allowed the Confederates to temporarily strengthen their hold on the region and impair Union supply lines.

On August 26, 1862, Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg’s army left Chattanooga, Tennessee and marched north through Sparta, TN and then to Glasgow, KY. Pursued by Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell’s Union Army, Bragg approached Munfordville, a station on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad and the location of an 1,800 foot long railroad bridge crossing Green River, in mid-September. Col. John T. Wilder commanded the Union garrison at Munfordville, which consisted of three regiments behind extensive fortifications. … more on Wikipedia

Negley Sheep

Fort Negley sheep clearing undergrowth 

 

negley sheepThe historic Fort Negley is using sheep to clear the undergrowth around it’s perimeter. They are enclosed in an electric fence, and two guard-dogs protecting the flock. This will hopefully make the fort visible from the I-65, generating more visitors to this Nashville Civil War icon.
