Visiting Reed's Bridge: A Cautionary Tale

In my last blog post, I talked about seeing signs.  Signs can be revelatory and beneficial, such as finding a road sign that directed us to the correct area of a regiment's position.  Intangible signs can also serve as clues instrumental in self preservation, which is why you should always be aware of your surroundings, even when out Civil Warring.  We utilized this exercise in discernment during our visit to the Reed's Bridge Battlefield, located just northeast of Little Rock near Jacksonville, Arkansas.
