I'm still ticked off.....wifey and I took a month long driving trip thru the entire lower third of this country in May/June......took my cheapie metal dectector in the hopes that our wanderings might take us to some Civil War digs.

We got to Jackson, TN and checked into some motel near the Casey Jones Museum and found a Chamber of Commerce brochure touting a nearby battleground - "Salem Cemetery"!..complete with map to the site.

We saddled up and drove the 45 minutes and found that the C.C. brochure was a little "off".......the site aforementioned was the home of the local historian (and nobody was there). We left emptyhanded. Damn, damn, damn.....
