Battle of Sulphur Creek Trestle

Ouch.

Right? So this battle will be known as the Battle of Sulphur Creek Trestle and will become the bloodiest battle ever fought in northern Alabama.

There was 200 federal troopers were killed and 800 survivors.

They were all captured, including Eli Lilly, who was given the unfortunate task of having to request surrender terms to Nathan Bedford Forrest.

But sadly, as was many of these Union prisoners.

And here's the thing that's true about how your life is.

Most of the Union prisoners captured at Sulphur Creek Trestle would die on April 27, 1865 after being released in the Sultana.

Oh, no.
