I had heard the story since I was a little boy, but it wasn't until one of the trips back there last summer that I noticed that the street actually narrowed and that it must be true.<br /><br />I'm still waiting for Steve to ask what kind of shotgun he had.<br /><br /> You are right, I should visit Chickamauga. I have been to the battlefields in the Chattanooga area, but for some reason never went down into Georgia for Chickamauga.<br /><br />After reading your comment, it occurred to me that for a person as interested in the Civil War as I am, I haven't been to nearly as many battlefields as I should haveReid Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382498430164817928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-24108194580272393172014-01-14T13:46:54.787-08:002014-01-14T13:46:54.787-08:00Reid, wonderful account of your great-great grandf...Reid, wonderful account of your great-great grandfather. If you haven't done so, visit Chickamauga Battlefield. Shortly after the war, surveyors and engineers from the Union Army laid out the positions of all combatants by units. These same men were in the battle. Your GGGF's unit most likely will have a placard or marker where it stood and fought. It is a beautiful place in the mountains of Northwest Georgia and not far from Lookout Mountain Battlefield. It is in a state of permanent preservation never to be encroached upon.Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16586106608274313864noreply@blogger.com
