SCENES FROM SHY’S HILL
The steep, slippery hill in which the Union forces swept the Confederate left flank from the field of battle and effectively ended the Battle of Nashville drew heavy crowds on Saturday, Dec. 13, as numerous reenactors, camping on the summit, explained the battle to new visitors and a howitzer boomed from the eastern slope every hour. Below are some of the images from the day’s events.
