| This one-acre site is the entire parcel of land acquired by the National Park Service to commemorate the Battle of Brice’s Crossroads, which took place on 10 June 1864 over a much larger surrounding area. As stated in the National Register nomination, "The one acre of land included in Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site constitutes only a symbolic token of the battle area developed in a commemorative manner with the monument, flanking cannon, and exhibit panels." Although this commemorative site has been considered to be listed on the National Register as of 15 October 1966, because it was already a historic property managed by the National Park Service, it was apparently formally listed on the the National Register in 1978, from a nomination prepared in 1974 by William E. Cox, Assistant Chief Park Interpreter of the Natchez Trace Parkway. |
