From the American Battlefield Trust January 2022 calendar.
The Battle of Mill Springs in south central Kentucky on January 19, 1862, was the first significant Union victory of the Civil War.
Union troops broke a Confederate offensive aimed at securing Kentucky's allegiance to the Confederacy, forcing their foe back into Tennessee.
The Trust and its partners, including the Kentucky Heritage Council and the Mill Springs Battlefield Association, have saved 686 acres of the battlefield.
Always great to preserve more battlefield acreage. Another battlefield I don't know much about, but will learn.
