The Stable Yard

In the stable yard, Confederate forces made their stand around a small log stable that was the focal point of action. Large foundation stones still mark its location. A lone Confederate cannon stood beside the stable, blasting furiously during the battle. Young Southerners faced their first fire against overwhelming odds, yet drove back two Federal assaults before giving way. "As regiment after regiment of the enemy came into view, our small force saw it had heavy work..." Confederate Captain David Curry
