It's the interior of the church at Rocky Springs, Mississippi, on the old Natchez Trace. It was there when General Grant's army invaded Mississippi, passing by on the road just outside. All of the yankee Army of Tennessee's infantry divisions bivouaced on various days around the church because of the water source of Rocky Springs. The Army of Tennessee moved on to Jackson, then turned toward Vicksburg and beat us at Champion Hill near Edwards, Miss., then took the bridge over the Big Black River (near US highway 80 bridge). Once they had that and then took Haynes Bluff, giving them access to supply boats on the Yazoo River, Vicksburg was doomed. When Vicksburg fell it just killed us. Taken with Leica M2, 35mm Summaron, Ilford HP5 developed in HC110. http://englandphotographic.com/paw.html Lee England Natchez, Mississippi
