Parrotts, Badgers, and Horseflesh: A Special Artillery-focus Talk & Tour - Hike with Jim Ogden

  • Meet at Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center 3370 Lafayette Road Fort Oglethorpe, GA, 30742 United States (map)

They’re still muzzleloaders and horsedrawn but Robert Parker Parrott’s cannon are representative of the era of technological advances in which our nation’s Civil War unfolds and a Badger battery at Chickamauga reflects both the new and old. This special artillery-focused program will incorporate both a talk and a car caravan tour to the special anniversary program that will look at the role and experience of the 3rd Wisconsin Battery in Dyer Field on that third September Sunday 162 years ago.
