1. Hardin County Marker

Inscription. For his Revolutionary War Service, Colonel Joseph Hardin was given 2,000 acres of land where eventually a county would bear his name. On April 6-7, 1862, nearly 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers died or were wounded under the peach blossoms of a formerly peaceful Tennessee spring at Shiloh. There the night’s rain failed to dilute the carnage giving Bloody Pond it’s name. Northwest of Shiloh, Savannah was relatively isolated until the TVA construction of Pickwick Landing Dam in 1938.
