This past week I was in Louisville for work. After meetings on Wednesday and Thursday, I had the opportunity to visit two wonderful battlefields: Mill Springs (also called Logan’s Crossroads and Fishing Creek) on Thursday, and Perryville on Friday. I really enjoy Kentucky battlefields. The state does a wonderful job protecting and maintaining their Civil War history. Additional kudos to the Civil War Preservation Trust which has saved many acres of Kentucky battlefields.
Watch for a full length essay on the Battle of Perryville, in October, around the battle’s anniversary on October 8. I was able to take some amazing sunrise pictures that I will unveil at that time.
Lastly, as yesterday was a vacation day, I stopped at two distilleries on Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail. One of them was the Four Roses Distillery. There will be a very interesting blog article, about this distillery, in the coming weeks. Obviously there is a connection between it and the Civil War.
