Day 55
Dec. 5
West Point, GA
Postcard
Dear Miss Smith,I'm short on time and space here. Just finished visiting Fort Tyler in West Point, Georgia. The Union troops attacked this earthen fort on Easter Sunday, April 16, 1865 and many soldiers died. That was seven days after General Lee had surrendered to Grant. One thing that Christian found interesting was that the "spoils of war," the Confederate flag, was given to the Wisconsin regiment. Since he is from Wisconsin, he wondered what happened to it.
Off to Nash Farm Battlefield. No more room.
