End of the day, take an honest count. What you did right. What you'd fix. Then let it go and get some sleep. Tomorrow needs you rested.

The Ambush at Coffeeville

In late 1862, Grant pushed south through north Mississippi along the Mississippi Central Railroad, aiming for Vicksburg. Confederate forces under John C. Pemberton fell back toward Grenada. Union cavalry under Colonel T. Lyle Dickey chased after them, hoping to catch stragglers. On December 5, 1862, the Confederate rear guard, including troops under Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman, set a trap in the woods north of Coffeeville. When Dickey's riders came up the road, they ran into heavy fire and were driven back several miles. The Union lost over 100 men, while Confederate losses were much lighter. Coffeeville was small, but it was a warning. Two weeks later, Van Dorn's raid on Holly Springs destroyed Grant's supply base, and the overland drive on Vicksburg collapsed. Tilghman would not see the war's end. He was killed at Champion Hill the following May.

@anurarespecter As I heard the chaplain say while I was in the Marines: “Clean your own house first.”

1914. Ex-president Theodore Roosevelt took on an unmapped Amazon river. Rapids, near starvation, a man drowned. His leg got infected, fever left him delirious, and he dropped a quarter of his weight. He came out alive. Comfort was never the point.

@Zoomer_South That is a good question. They have taken over every gas station and hotel it seems in this country..

This river helped shape north Mississippi. Cotton, timber, supplies, and people moved through it. Floods changed the land. At Greenwood, it joins the Yalobusha to form the Yazoo.
Today we cross it in seconds.
Once, the Tallahatchie wasn’t something you crossed. It was the way there.

BLACK PANTHER

For months, Forest, MS residents heard a "banshee-like wail" as livestock vanished. Then hunter Otis Chapman shot a six-foot, 350-lb black cat in the swamp.
Experts say black panthers don't exist in North America…
Do you believe?

@ricksapp So true

March 1863.

Union ironclads tried to slip around Vicksburg through the Mississippi Delta. Instead, they got trapped in narrow creeks choked with willows, fallen trees, mud, and Confederate fire. Warships built to fight forts nearly got beaten by the Delta itself.
