Description
“East Tennessee Bridge Burners” – Richard White, Curator of 18th & 19th Century Tennessee History at the Tennessee State Museum, will discuss the guerrilla operations carried out during the Civil War by Union sympathizers in Confederate-held East Tennessee in 1861. The operations called for the destruction of nine strategic railroad bridges followed by an invasion of the area by Union Army forces from southeastern Kentucky.
