This is a great portrayal of a battle that happened practically in my backyard.All of us who grew up in East Point & S.W. Atlanta should give this guy some support. I have walked this battlefield many times & his detail is awesome.For those of you that don't know it is located on Dodson Dr. at Cascade & to the west toward's Adam's Dr. It is now Cascade Spring's Nature Preserve. Many of the trenches & rifle pit's are still visible as well as a two gun (Yankee) battery. There are also some beautiful Bigleaf Magnolia's to see , one of our Creator's majestic tree's that you don't often see. Best of Luck , Clay Fagan

An incrediable and highly accurate portrayal of the skermishers of Riley's Brigade of Cox's Division XXIII Army Corps US assaulting the Kentucky Orphan Brigade of Bates Division, CSA on 6 August 1864!
