You can visit the CWPT's website at www.civilwat.org/bentonville10. for more information.

They have a special four pages of maps for the purchase. The first day map, showing the first day of fighting, shows that the CWPT is saving part of the land on which the "Last Grand Charge of the Army of the Tennessee" occurred.

On the second day map, it shows the CWPT's attempt to save surviving remnants of earthworks.

Then, the third day map shows land the organization wants to acquire where Gen Johnston had to flee on foot, narrowly missing being captured by Federal forces.

The cost for the 240 acres comes out to about $3,152 an acre.
