This is what the banks look like along this part of the TN river. According to the river guide the soil is sand mixed with clay and you could see areas where the bank is sliding into the river.
There is so much civil war history in this part of the USA. The picture at the right is the Cherry Mansion that was built in 1830. It was built by slave labor with bricks made on the riverbank. General Ulysses Grant was eating breakfast here in 1862 when he heard distant artillery fire as Confederate forces attacked his army at Shiloh. Tomorrow we are going to visit the Shiloh National Military Park.
This dock
has a light under it and when we came back from a walk tonight, the
light was on and there are tons of BIG fish under the boat. Reminds me
of Mimi’s dock bar in Grand Cayman!
That is all for tonight. After tomorrow I will be much more knowledgeable about the Civil War. Amazing how much I don’t remember.
Good night! Pat
