"A Hurricane of Shot and Shell" - 5th Indiana Battery versus the Polks

The Fifth Indiana Battery had an extensive record during the American Civil War. The battery played a major role in the Battle of Chickamauga by repulsing the attacks of Confederate Lieutenant General Leonidas Polk’s right wing of the Army of Tennessee. However, this was not the last time that members of the Polk family would face the “hurricane of shot and shell.” We encourage you to join a park ranger for this special presentation on Chickamauga Battlefield.

Please dress accordingly for the weather, and a folding chair might be desirable.
