East Tennessee


Over Memorial Day Weekend, my family traveled to the Chattanoga area. We visited a church in the area and fellowshipped with like-minded believers. We were also able to visit some battlefields on our trek through the State. Tennessee, I have seen, has national battlefields coming out her ears! We went by Parker's Crossroads, Stones River, and Chickamauga. I hope to visit Parker's Crossroads during the second weekend in June and have a book signing. They are having a living history demo that weekend. The picture above was taken on a tower-like memorial at the Chickamauga battlefield. In this area, Longstreet's attacking troops could not be repulsed, even though the Yankees were cutting them down with 7-shot Spencer repeaters.
