New Pages Now Online

Two new sections went online today at www.exploresouthernhistory.com.

The first explores the history of the Battle of Olustee, Florida. Olustee was the largest Civil War battle in Florida. In addition, it was statistically the greatest Union defeat of the war. An estimated 40% of the 5,500 Union troops that marched into the battle were killed, wounded or captured. The new pages explore the history of the battle and provide an online tour of Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park. To visit the new section, please click www.exploresouthernhistory.com/olustee.

The second new section explores the history of the Battle of Fayetteville, Arkansas. This Civil War battle was one of the last major Confederate attempts to retake control of Northwest Arkansas. The section features information on the history of the battle and photographs of the battlefield as it appears today.
