beaucoups thanks (!!!!) for sharing all your info; I apologize for being distracted by work lately and hope to get back to the Iuka burial trench puzzle soon.

QUESTION 1: Does anyone know exactly when the mass burial trench was made (date and time) following the Iuka battle on Sept. 19, 1862?

QUESTION 2: Does anyone know exactly when the mass burial trench was no longer being used?

thanks y'all....!!!!

y.v.o.s.,

Ken
