This is absolutely correct; Forks of Cypress has nothing to do with Col. Jackson's raid across the Tennessee. It was quite impressive to see those columns in the moonlight. From a distance they look much like the columns in the movie "Raintree County".

There were a number of actions in the area south of the river during the Dodge expedition from the Mississippi line to Town Creek and back. Sure wish these could be marked by the state historical commission. Most are right along the highway.
