I'll try to remember to leave a message about a recent guide to Civil War sites in Georgia. Surely there's another on Tennessee. But unless you have a good imagination, there's not much to see about the war in north Alabama. >From Marshall County it's a short trip to the Chattanooga battlefields. On Lookout Mountain you can visit the Craven House, Point Park and Sunset Rock, where Longstreet viewed Federal camps in Lookout Valley and planned the attack at Wauhatchie. Of course it's not far from there to Missionary Ridge, where visitors can drive along the crest and see Confederate battery and brigade markers from the battle. There are any number of other CW-related sites and attractions in and around the city. If you have time, spend a weekend at Chickamauga National Battlefield Park. After Gettysburg, this is the most visited battlefield park in the country. It covers a large area and may be somewhat hard to understand. Southern military commands assembled from Mississippi to Virginia managed to win a major victory here, the most significant credited to Confederate arms west of Virginia.
