(3-99) Battlefield Tour Stop 8 (Fighting at Elkhorn Tavern), north view of Old Telegraph Road. 2002 Tour Guide: The Confederates made their first assault on Union forces from the Telegraph Road north of the tavern and gradually pushed them back about one-half mile behind you. On the second day, after a fierce artillery duel, the Confederates ran out of ammunition, forcing General Van Dorn to withdraw. The Federals pursued several hundred stragglers down the Telegraph Road, believing them to be the main force, thus allowing the bulk of Van Dorn's column to escape eastward over the Huntsville Road. Wayside exhibits and a recorded message here help to explain the fighting in this area
