Thank you very much!
To all of you that made the 140th Tullahoma Campain a huge success, again I say THANK YOU. A special thanks to the Armies

We had about 450 soldiers and 4,000 spectators during the two day event. As event sponsor and landowner, BeechWood Farm
feels that this was a very successful endeavor. We and the Armies of Tennessee US/CS have submitted our final designs
for the monument to be placed here on site and look forward to completing that aspect of the event sometime early in 2004.

THE HISTORIC TULLAHOMA CAMPAIGN OF 1863
The Tullahoma Campaign commenced immediately after The Battle of Stones River (Murfreesboro) January 2, 1863 and continued
until the commencement of the Battle of Chicamauga, September 10, 1863.
U.S. General Rosencrans, Army of the Cumberland, had approximately 60,000 soldiers. The C.S. General Bragg had approximately
47,000 soldiers. The Union armies were scattered in and around Liberty Gap and Hoover's Gap. The Confederate forces were scattered
in Shelbyville and Wartrace with the C. S. headquarters in Tullahoma. C.S. Corp. Commander William J. Hardee was headquartered
at Beechwood, now know as BeechWood Farm, Highway 29, Wartrace, Tennessee.
During this time in history, the Confederates were eventually routed from the state of Tennessee and pushed into Georgia.The
fall of Vicksburg and The Battle of Gettsburg, all took place during this time frame. No matter which side won, the
Civil War was a very costly and deadly struggle.
