The Pickett's Mill Battlesite is one of the most prestine and best preserved civil war sites in the Nation. The vast majority of the site appears as it did during the horific fighting of May 27th, 1864. The ratio of deaths to woundings was essentually reversed in this battle from that of most battles, as Union soldiers charging fortified positions uphill Towards Cleburnes men tended to be shot in the head and skulled as they rose up from a revine.
It's a shame that the little amount needed to maintain this site to keep it open for public exposure and use is just not available.
Cell towers put Georgia battlefield "at risk"
