"The Bloody Pond" 
During the Battle of Shiloh this farm pond near the peach orchard was covered with wounded soldiers from both armies. Many men went to bathe their wounds and drink from the water. For many it was their last drink. By the end of the day the water was stained red with their blood.

The entrance gate to Point Park
The entryway to the park which sits atop Lookout Mountain was constructed by the United States Army's Corps of Engineers in 1905 and was built as a replica of the Corps unit insignia.

The view from the park atop of Lookout Mountain makes it easy to understand why the Civil War battle for this mountain bastion was name 'The Battle Above the Clouds'

The first three pictures where taken from the base and the last picture from above the approximate point where in the early morning hours of November 26th 1863 Union troops from the 8th Kentucky Infantry lead by Captain John Wilson made the last assault on the Confederate Army's position atop Lookout Mountain, by scaling the palisades of the point of the mountain. Even though that unknown to the Union forces the Confederate units occupying the summit had withdrawn during the night, and Captain Wilson and his men in the end, made the climb unopposed, I find the daring and the bravery of these men from the Kentucky 8th to be most noteworthy. I only wished that the people of the state of Kentucky had felt the same way, because of among all the plaques and monuments scattered about the park dedicated by the various states who had units who fought in the 'Battle of Lookout Mountain' there is none from the state of Kentucky to honor those brave men of the Kentucky 8th Infantry.
