Day_3

Three parks today, all along the Mississippi. Fort Pillow, Meeman-Shelby, and T.O. Fuller. Most of the day we traveled the Great River Road. Only three parks to go. We would end our day with a flat tire and a tow to the Victory dealer in Memphis. The driver was kind enough to take us to a local hotel.

 A very important battle was fought here. While it didn't involve a lot of deaths it did create a lot of controversy and led to changes in the treatment of prisoners of war.
