Cotton Plant | Murfreesboro | Baton Rouge | Kirksville

After the Seven Days Battles we move away from Virginia with a few minor battles. We go Arkansas on July 7th, 1862 for the battle of Cotton Plant then move to Tennessee with Murfreesboro on the 13th. On August 5th we are in Baton Rouge and we wrap up the episode with the battle of Kirksville from August 6th-9th. Kirksville is notable for the killings of at least 1 citizen and a few Rebel soldiers after the battle by Union forces under Colonol John McNeil.Email us with any questions or comments at [email protected]!
