TO GET CREDIT FOR THIS EATHCACHE AND TO CLAIM FOUND YOU MUST TAKE A PICTURE IN FRONT OF THE SPRING AND UPLOAD IT TO YOUR FOUND POST!!! As Confederate and Union armies converged over to the west the day and night before great Battle of Perryville, Oct. 8, 1862, there was constant fighting for water. Almost unprecedented drought had made water so scarce that troops contended for pools in dry creeks. This spring provided continuous supply to CSA Gen. Bragg's headquarters and troops on this side of river. ================================================================================= This is Spring is known as a Fracture Springs but also has some charateristics of a Tubular springs which is essentially where water dissolved and created underground channels, but this Spring is located in a weak spot of a Fault so it is a combination spring. If you notice this Spring comes out of the fault about halfway down which means is runs from underground channels that the water has made over years. During the Spring time when there is large amounts of rain fall this Spring has enough power and gathers enough water that is can actually fill the below creek. It has been reported that some citizens in the commuity still comes down to this spring and gets gallons of drinking water. ====================================================================== =======================================================
