Not too far north, in Southern Kentucky,is the Perryville Battle site where Bragg was repulsed by union forces under Buell during the South's drive toward Louisville in 1862. I haven't visited it in many years, but it was one of the most unspoiled battlefields of the western theatre. My great Grandpa lost an ear there fighting for the confederate side. Keep an eye out for it if you visit...LEJ
