This is a historical film about Mill Springs Mill on the Cumberland River and its role during a Civil War engagement in early 1862.  Mill Springs Mill was the site where Confederate forces camped and possibly served as headquarters leading up to the Battle of Mill Springs, which took place Jan. 19. Brig. Gen. Felix Zollicoffer commanded the Confederate defensive line and was killed in action during the battle.  Mill Springs Mill was restored in 1976 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District and is still operated in partnership with the Monticello Women's Club.
