This Month in the Civil War: Today the Battle of Mobile Bay, Wilson's Creek, Quantrill, Manassas

From the August 2021 American Battlefield Trust calendar. The month's feature was on the Battle of Hanging Rock, South Carolina during the American Revolution.  The Trust now saves Hallowed Ground  other than the Civil War.  And that includes the American revolution and the War of 1812.

I wrote about it in my Not So Forgotten: War of 1812 blog today.
