P1013083 Later in the day, we headed south from Corinth, Mississippi toward Tupelo, Mississippi. About halfway there, we stopped to vist the Battle of Brice's Crossroads visitor center. However, they were not open, yet. P1013083
P1013084 Took a short stroll around the back of the visitor center to capture the flags of the states that fought in the Civil War. The actual Brice's Crossroads battlefield was west of the visitor center, so we headed out to see it. P1013084

P1013097 The whole Monument at the site of Brice's Crossroads. P1013097
P1013102 A short walk to the east from the site of the Monument is a small (and very old) cemetery. This is where many fallen Confederates were buried, and a Confederate battle flag still flies above them all. P1013102
P1013103 The ground the grave markers are on is very soft, so the markers eventually tilt. Eventually some will fall over if not stablized soon. P1013103

P1013120 Unfortunately for this site, and many other National Battlefield from the American Revolution, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, and Civil War, the urban sprawl has been very cruel. This site has to contend with a car wash across the street. P1013120
P1013122 A marker at the Tupelo site for the Confederate dead. P1013122
P1013127 We headed back to St. Louis from Tupelo, Mississippi, but also got to travle a short distance along the Natchez Trace Parkway. This was a route used by the native indians in the area. P1013127
