Geocache Description:

One cache in a series to pay tribute to those people that helped shape our country.


Luther P. Bradley (December 8, 1822 – March 13, 1910) was an American soldier who served as a Union general officer during the American Civil War. When the American Civil War began in 1861, Bradley chose to follow the Union cause. At first his mother opposed this, but he wrote her a letter in which he told of his need to serve in the military for his country. He was appointed a lieutenant colonel in the 51st Illinois Infantry Regiment on November 6. Under Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell, he fought with his regiment at the capture of Island Number Ten in New Madrid, Missouri, and at the occupation of Nashville, Tennessee. On October 15, 1862, he was promoted to colonel, and then he participated in the Battle of Stones River that winter. He was severely wounded during the September 1863 Battle of Chickamauga where he commanded a brigade. Bradley was then appointed a brigadier general in the Union Army, to rank from July 30, 1864. He participated in the Atlanta Campaign, during which he commanded a brigade in Newton's Division of IV Corps in the Army of the Cumberland. Bradley fought in Tennessee at the Battle of Spring Hill on November 28, 1864, and was once again wounded. His injury prevented him from leading his brigade during the Battle of Nashville that followed on December 15–16.

All caches in this last series of caches are preforms that have been thrown on the ground at ground zero. The way I would have preferred to place these caches and the way I placed the other in this forest are no longer allowed. All have a pencil in them but be sure to bring you own.

The trails here can be muddy and wet and the bugs can be bad in places.
