The site of the Confederate attack that destroyed the Union right, most of Sheridan's Stand site at the Harding farm, and the Greshem farm are now bulldozed for more comic book stores and the Gap. Sad, very sad.

As a resident of Middle Tennessee, I recently visited the park. Though a large amount of clean-up has already been done, much evidence of the damage still remains. Pictures cannot capture the degree of destruction and just how wide a swath the tornado cut through the battlefield and surrounding neighborhoods. The permanent loss of huge old trees and damage to the delicate cedar glades is devastating. Thankfully, the monument and cemetery did not suffer the same fate.
