The Confederate offensive drove surprised Federal forces from their camps, nearly triumphing over Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s command of 40,000. Federals refused to surrender and Rebels soon became disorganized; by afternoon, Union soldiers had definitively and heroically established a battle line at the sunken road, known as the “Hornet’s Nest.” Rebel attacks were unsuccessful until massed artillery helped Confederates gain the upper hand as they surrounded Union…

That is not an easy job as people experience museums differently and to be accommodating for everyone is difficult, especially for the Keck museum which is now constrained with what it can do as it is a historical treasure in itself.…
