55th USCT consisted of runaway slaves from along the Tombigbee River watershed. I grew up and attended school with some of their descendants. Proud families with honorable ancestors!
my family land is part of the Old town creek battle on the 2nd day, july 15,1864. it used to have an original confederate battlefield grave there, till we moved it in 2006.
so yall jump from brice's crossroads, strait to nashville,.....here's something for u, my family land, sits on the 2nd day battle of Old Town Creek (Tupelo) July 15,1864. across the road from our house, thru the woods, is a farm field in it used to be the grave of conf. prvt W.H. Grist, killed @ the spot where his marker was in the field on the 2nd day of tupelo, we reburied him in 2006, in the verona city cemetery with full CSA honors. also there is still some earthworks in the woods nearby the field. that no one rarely sees.
Yes!!! The CT troops tasked with covering the rear, offered no resistance to the Confederates. They threw drown their guns and ran like the rest of army as soon as they saw Forrest's troops. This idea that they held and fought bravely appears to be a bit of fiction cooked up by Sam Sturgis.

Another great video. Tupelo is just down the road. Worth a stop.
