The Alamo San Antonio Texas…or it could be what’s left of the Battle of the Bastards GOT. 
Neither. I do have photos of the Alamo. It just looks like an old Spanish mission, deadset right in the heart of San Antonio.
Dang…Jeff Daniels you say, not Jack?
How about Fredericksberg Texas? Is that the site of the war museum?
I can do you photos of the Jack Daniel’s distillery.
And it’s a battle site.

I think he was also in a movie called ‘Gettysburg’, so I reckon Ace may have the location (again).

Battle of Fredericksburg (the famous battle)?
Gettysburg…but three distinct days…three distinct spheres of action. Which one?
I was going to do one of the field across which Pickett’s Charge…well…charged, but it was virtually impossible to identify because they were taken from the Union side, the Angle which was named the High Water Mark of the Confederacy, the most northerly point the full army reached.
Gods and Generals was about Stonewall Jackson and the Battle of Chancellorsville.

Well it looked important from one of my old history books that had a similar picture of the 1 above. Apparently it was 1 of the 10 costliest battles during the civil war.
OK…I’m tired of this. It’s the view from the top of Little Round Top, which the 20th Maine defended after running out of ammo on the second day of the battle.
The Rebels won the battle on the first day, but the general decided not to hold the hill over the first night, despite Lee’s orders to hold if practicable. The Union then retook it and gave them the “right-hand” side of the area of battle. On the second day, a surveyor (Gen Warren) realised how critical Little Round Top was on the “left-hand” side of the battlefield and they ordered the 20th Maine commanded by a philosophy professor from Maine called Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain to hold it. They only got there with minutes to spare to hold off a Georgia company coming up the hill. When they ran out of ammo, Chamberlain ordered the rest of his men to make a bayonet charge down the hill, which was successful.
This day was infamous for a Union commander called Sickles, who was a congressman with a murky past, who decided personal glory was more important than tactical orders and took on the Confederates in a rocky field called the Devil’s Den. He lost.
On the third day, Lee decided to attack the centre of the Union lines and this was where Pickett’s Charge, I believe the last infantry charge on a large scale in world history. Had his rear end whopped. And that was the end of the Confederates’ chance of venturing north and winning the war by taking Washington and forcing the Union to sue for peace.
On the same day, in Mississippi at a place called Vicksburg, the Union finally ended a long siege in victory. The commanding general, a guy called Ulysses Simpson Grant, was given control of the whole Union army and the North finally had a general capable of matching it with Robert E Lee. The war lasted another 21 months though.
Next person. May as well be @Theclubsanga .
Thanks. I like guessing location. I didn’t get it and struggling for pics. @JohnRain has plenty of pics so I’ll hand ball to him! Let’s Play on…
Mekong somewhere?
Yep. Big river though…
Phnom Penh at the confluence of the Mekong & Tonle Sap?
Damn I was going to guess that. How about Cao Lanh?
No, no
