The American Civil War
is considered the deadliest in American History.
It comprised of many
battles, none of which should be forgotten.
However this monument
concentrates on and is dedicated
mainly to the men who
fought for American freedoms in:
The Battle of
Gettysburg (Pennsylvania)
The Battle of Atlanta
(Georgia)
The Battle of Shiloh
(Tennessee)
The Battle of Cedar
Mountain (Virginia)
The Battle of Antietam
(Maryland)
The Battle of
Pleasant Hill (Louisiana)
President Abraham Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address
The purpose of this
cache is to enjoy the freedoms we have today,
and to remember those
who fought for it,
not the hunt for this
cache.
This cache is a black
painted nano located under the South facing cannon.
Stop and enjoy the
monument which is flanked by 4 cannons
each of which faces
the 4 major compass points.
