Congrats! You Discovered Ferry Crossing

Having secured control of the river and the ferry crossing, the Federals turned Carthage into a major depot. From 1863 to the end of the war, Federal boats arrived from Nashville to unload supplies at Upper Ferry. Some of the supplies were transported overland by way of Eastland Heights and through Carthage to the Federal fort on Battery Hill to provision the troops guarding the town.
