Liberty Gap:very significant action as repeating rifles were used here for the first time in a large scale action.
The main highway into Murfreesboro & Nashville bi-sects the battlefield .
Wilder's (Union)"Lightening Brigade" decimated several Confederate units here with their repeating rifles;the first time Confederate troops experienced such firepower.This site is little changed from the 186o's,including a two story home that was there during the action;also Confederates killed here are buried just off the highway(last time I was there the local folk had a Confederate Battle Flag flying over the cemetery visible from the HWY.)
