Besides the areas near the visitor center, Bentonville Battlefield has some other places worth exploring. One of these is just a short distance to the east, and includes this statue of Confederate General Joseph Eggleston Johnston, who fought against Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. Behind it are two monuments and a flagpole.
A short trail leads from the statue to a house and two monuments. This one includes a metallic horse's head.
The other monument is to the 123rd Regiment from New York.
This house once belonged to Confederate solder Levi Creech. It was originally located elsewhere.
I had to step back a take a shot showing where the Johnston statue and Creech house are situated relative to each other.
Finally, I went to the site of the Cole plantation, but nothing is there except for this 12-pound Napoleon cannon. This type of gun was invented by Louis Napoleon, nephew of the French emperor.
Thus concludes today's excursion. See all youz soon.
