The U.S. soldiers of Generals Philip S heridan's and James Negley's division used the rock strewn woods north of the road to make a stand that stalled nearly half the Confederate army for two hours buying the time the rest of the Army of the Cumberland to set u p a new line of defense at the Nashville Pike. The ferocious fighting left thousands of soldiers dead and wounded and earned the place the nickname\ , the Slaughter Pen.\n\nJoin us at Tour Stop 2 where a park ranger will gu ide you on a walk through Slaughter Pen sharing the stories of the soldier s who struglled for that ground. Living historians will present demonstrat ions of musket and cannon firing along the way.
