Chickamauga and Chattanooga
The gateway to the heart of the Confederacy was Chattanooga, and to possess the city, two great armies clashed here in the fall of 1863 in some of the hardest fighting of the war.
Union general William S. Rosecrans had swept the Confederates from middle Tennessee and was determined to capture Chattanooga, but first he went southeast of the city to cut the rail line to Atlanta. Confederate general Braxton Bragg then abandoned Chattanooga and attempted to trap Rosecrans in northern Georgia. The armies met at Chickamauga.
On the first day, September 19, Bragg pushed the Union army back. The next day he tried in vain to drive between Rosecrans and Chattanooga, but couldn’t crack the Union line. Then Bragg got lucky. A mistaken order opened a large gap in the Federal ranks. James Longstreet’s troops smashed through, routing Rosecrans and half his army. General George H. Thomas took command and formed a new battle line on Snodgrass Hill, managing to hold it against repeated assaults. He earned the sobriquet, “Rock of Chickamauga.”
At this crucial moment, if Bragg could have crushed Rosecrans’s army before it could be reinforced, the war in the West would have turned out differently. His hesitation allowed the Union army to retreat into Chattanooga.
Bragg laid siege to the city. He occupied Missionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain, and the Chattanooga Valley. By placing artillery on the heights overlooking the river and blocking the roads and rail lines, Bragg prevented supplies from entering the city. Unless something was done quickly, Rosecrans’s army would be starved into surrendering.
Reinforcements were sent. General Joseph Hooker arrived from Virginia with twenty thousand troops; Sherman brought sixteen thousand more from Mississippi. In October, General Ulysses S. Grant assumed overall command, replacing Rosecrans with General Thomas as commander of the Army of the Cumberland.
The situation soon began to change. Union troops opened a short supply route, called the “cracker line.” Thomas attacked on November 23 and routed the Confederates from Orchard Knob. The next day, Hooker, aided by a heavy fog, pushed the Confederates out of their defenses around the Cravens House on Lookout Mountain. And the day after that, Sherman struck the right flank of Bragg’s army concentrated on Missionary Ridge. Hooker attacked the rebel left.
The attack soon ran into trouble: Hooker was slow crossing Chattanooga Creek, and Sherman’s attack couldn’t crack the Confederate line. To take the pressure off Sherman, Grant ordered Thomas to attack the rifle pits at the base of Missionary Ridge.
Then something miraculous happened. Thomas’s men spontaneously scaled the heights of Missionary Ridge in one of the great charges of the war. The rebel line collapsed, and Bragg’s troops fled to the rear. During the night they retreated into Georgia.
The siege and battle for Chattanooga were over. Union armies now controlled the city and nearly all of Tennessee. Chattanooga became the base for Sherman’s drive on Atlanta.
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park is composed of a number of separate areas, all of which can be toured easily in a day. The Visitor Center, located at the north entrance to the 5,400-acre Chickamauga battlefield, on U.S. 27, seven miles south of Chattanooga, is the best starting point. A seven-mile self-guided auto tour begins here. Rangers also give guided tours of the battlefield, evening programs, and summer musket- and cannon-firing demonstrations. The park is open daily, 8:00-4:45, to 5:45 in the summer. Closed Christmas. For information phone 706-866-9241.
Gordon-Lee MansionThis 1847 Greek revival house was the only structure in the village of Chickamauga to survive the battle. From September 16-19 it served as General Rosecrans’s headquarters, then as his main hospital during the bloodiest two days in American history, when 37,000 men became casualties. With Rosecrans was his chief of staff, James A. Garfield, who later would become the twentieth president. After the Union army retreated into Chattanooga, twenty-five Confederate army doctors remained in the house, submitting to capture rather than leaving their patients.
The mansion, a National Historic Site, is now an inn, authentically restored and furnished in the period. The atmosphere of early Southern aristocracy is mirrored in the Oriental floor coverings, crystal and brass chandeliers, and ornate millwork. In the house are three guest rooms—the Red, Gold, and Blue rooms—all with their own baths, and a small apartment with a private entrance off the back veranda. Guests may also stay in a log house on the grounds.
Guests enjoy exploring the inn’s seven manicured acres and its three gardens—a formal English garden, an herb garden, and a vegetable garden. They also enjoy the rocking chairs on the several verandas. An elegant but informal full Southern breakfast is served in the dining room.
The Gordon-Lee Mansion has it all. It is, in the author’s opinion, the most outstanding Civil War inn in the country.

The Kennesaw Civil War MuseumThe star attraction here is one of the most celebrated relics of the war, the General, the steam locomotive whose theft by Union saboteurs led to the “Great Locomotive Chase.”
On April 12, 1862, a band of twenty-two soldiers, dressed in civilian clothes and led by the spy James J. Andrews, boarded the train in Marietta. When the train stopped at Big Shanty, they uncoupled the passenger cars, commandeered the locomotive, and took off for Chattanooga, planning to destroy railroad bridges and tunnels along the way.
They were pursued by the irate conductor, who managed to find another locomotive and some volunteers for the chase. The General ran out of steam at the Tennessee border and the saboteurs were captured. Andrews and seven others were hanged, but the entire band was posthumously awarded Medals of Honor.
This incident was the inspiration for two motion pictures: the 1926 silent comedy The General, starring Buster Keaton, and Disney’s 1966 The Great Locomotive Chase, starring Fess Parker.
The Kennesaw Civil War Museum, 2829 Cherokee St., Kennesaw, also displays a collection of Civil War artifacts. Open March through November, Monday-Saturday, 9:30-5:30, Sunday, 12:00-5:00; December through February, Monday-Saturday, 12:00-5:30, Sunday, 12:00-5:00. Admission is $3 for adults, $1.50 for children seven to fifteen. For information phone 770-427-2117.
The Atlanta CycloramaIn a special building in Grant Park is a giant painting-in-the-round that depicts “The Battle of Atlanta.” It is forty-two feet high, 358 feet in circumference, weighs more than nine thousand pounds, and covers more than sixteen thousand square feet of canvas. In front of the canvas is a strip, called a diorama, containing a three-dimensional landscape with soldiers, horses, and other paraphernalia of war. Visitors sit in the center on a bleacher-like stand. When the lights go down and the narration and music begin, the stand slowly revolves, giving visitors the sensation that they are in the center of the great battle.
Cycloramas were popular entertainments in the years following the Civil War, but only this one and the one at Gettysburg survive. Elsewhere in the building is shown a film on the Atlanta Campaign, narrated by James Earl Jones. A small museum displays artifacts and mementos of the Battle of Atlanta. Nearby in the park are traces of a temporary Confederate fortification.
The Cyclorama is open daily, 9:20-4:30 in the fall and winter, 9:20-5:30 in the spring and summer. Bookstore. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, and $3 for children six to twelve. From I-20 east, take Exit 26 and follow signs to park. The entrance to Grant Park is off Cherokee Avenue in southeast Atlanta. For information phone 404-658-7625 or 404-658-7626.
Ansley InnAlthough this inn wasn’t around when Atlanta was a battlefield, it is charming and friendly and located in one of the city’s oldest and nicest neighborhoods, a short walk from such attractions as the High Museum, Piedmont Park, and the Woodruff Arts Center.

Stone Mountain ParkThe centerpiece of this 3,200-acre family park is the largest piece of exposed granite in the world. It measures two miles in length, five miles in circumference, and 825 feet in height. General Sherman and his army passed this way on their famous March to the Sea. On the side of the monolith has been carved a spectacular 90-by-190-foot-high bas-relief sculpture of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson, each astride a horse. It took three sculptors more than fifty years to create this Confederate symbol; it was finally completed in 1970.
On summer nights, a fifty-minute laser show is projected on the north side of the mountain. A replica of a Civil War-era train makes the five-mile trip around the base. A cable car takes visitors to the top for a view of Atlanta, sixteen miles to the west. Athletic visitors enjoy hiking to the top.
Elsewhere in the park, the Memorial Hall Museum has excellent collections of Civil War weapons, uniforms, flags, and other memorabilia, and displays on local history. Nearby are nineteen antebellum buildings, all restored and authentically furnished, which were brought here from various places in Georgia to show visitors the working life of a plantation.
Visitors can ride around the park on a vintage steam passenger train, departing from a reproduction of Atlanta’s remarkable 1853 railroad station. The park has a thirty-six-hole golf course, a miniature golf course, ten miles of nature trails on twenty wooded acres, a 363-acre lake with a beach, cabana, fishing, boat rentals, and a scenic boat called the Scarlett O’Hara. There are three restaurants and countless snack bars. And in the summer, from Wednesday-Saturday, there are concerts by a 732-bell carillon.

1842 InnJefferson Davis passed through here as he, his wife, and some of his cabinet members fled south in April 1865 to avoid capture. Earlier, this vital railroad center manufactured ordnance and quartermaster supplies for the Confederacy. Union forces were twice repulsed, but the city finally fell to Wilson’s raiders on April 20, 1865.
Years later, when Jefferson Davis hosted a reunion ball in Macon for Confederate leaders, many dignitaries stayed at this inn. The inn was restored in 1986 and has won many preservation awards, and also many other awards for excellence, including the AAA’s Four Diamond Award.
The white-pillared porch is lit at night to welcome guests, and the comfortable guest rooms have many amenities. Some of the guest rooms are in the adjacent Victorian cottage that shares a quaint courtyard and garden with the main house. The 1842 Inn is in the city’s historic district.

Robert Toombs HouseOutspoken and independent, Robert Toombs had a turbulent career as state legislator, congressman, and senator. A “founding father” of the Confederacy, he believed he should have been chosen president, not Jefferson Davis. He reluctantly accepted appointment as secretary of state, then resigned to be an officer in the Army of Northern Virginia. When his ambitions were frustrated, he resigned his commission and spent the remainder of the war years at his home in Washington, brooding and criticizing the Confederate government.
Federal troops came to the house to arrest him, but he escaped and fled the country. Returning home years later, he scorned the thought of accepting a pardon. In 1880 he boasted, “I am not loyal to the existing government of the United States and do not wish to be suspected of loyalty.”
The house, built between 1797 and 1885, has been restored and has period furnishings, exhibits, and an excellent audiovisual program about Toombs’s career.
The Robert Toombs House State Historic Site, 216 E. Robert Toombs Ave., Washington, GA 30673, is open Tuesday-Saturday, 9:00-5:00, and Sunday, 2:00-5:30. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Admission is $2.50 for adults, $1.50 for children six to eighteen. For information phone 706-678-2226.
Maynard’s ManorPresident Davis, his wife, and a number of Confederate leaders were fleeing south when they paused in this central Georgia town on May 5, 1865, to hold the last Confederate cabinet meeting. On June 4, Union soldiers arrested Davis near Irwinville, Georgia, and seized $100,000 of the $500,000 in gold taken from Richmond and last held in a bank here.
Legend has it that some of the gold is buried around here, and fortune hunters still ply the old stagecoach road looking for the lost fortune. Whether you’re looking for Confederate gold or just Confederate sites, Maynard’s Manor is a good place to make your headquarters. The Robert Toombs house is a short walk away, for example, and just east of town is the house of the old Mount Pleasant plantation, where Eli Whitney was employed as a tutor when he invented the cotton gin.
This Victorian cottage offers both comfort and privacy. Hosts Ross and Louise Maynard pamper guests with wine and hors d’oeuvres in the late afternoon, dessert after they return from dinner, and sherry, fruit, and flowers await in the comfortable rooms. Their gourmet breakfast is a delight, and they know what to see and do in the Washington area.

Liberty HallLiberty Hall was the home of Alexander H. Stephens, the brilliant vice president of the Confederacy. He was sickly and weighed only ninety pounds but was said to have harbored sufficient “hostility and wrath … to burst ten thousand bottles.”
As a congressman, Stephens opposed secession but bowed to the will of his fellow Georgians, and later reluctantly accepted the vice presidency. Stephens absented himself from the capital for long periods of time and, when he did assume his duties as presiding officer of the senate, used the office as a platform from which to attack President Davis and his conduct of the war.
Arrested by Federal troops and imprisoned at war’s end, Stephens returned to Congress from 1873 to 1882, then was elected governor of Georgia.
A. H. Stephens State Historic Park, in Crawfordville, is reached from I-20; take Exit 55 and follow signs two miles to the park. The house contains Stephens’s furniture and law library. The adjacent Confederate Museum displays Civil War weapons, uniforms, and artifacts. Open Tuesday-Saturday, 9:00-5:00, and Sunday 2:00-5:00; the last tour is at 4:00. Admission is $2.50 for adults, $1.50 for children five to eighteen. There are many other park facilities, for camping and sports. For information phone 706-456-2602.
Fort PulaskiThis fort, a superb example of military architecture, was designed to protect the port of Savannah. It was considered invincible, “as strong as the Rocky Mountains,” but it fell in thirty hours to a Union attack, a victim of new technology.
Construction began in 1829 and it took eighteen years, a million dollars, and twenty-five million bricks to complete. When war came, the unmanned fort was seized by Confederate troops, but they couldn’t hold it for long. In 1861 Federal forces came ashore to prepare for siege operations. The defenders felt safe. The Federal artillery was positioned on Tybee Island, at a range of one to two miles, more than twice the effective range of the heavy ordnance of that time.
The defenders were unaware that the artillery included ten new experimental rifled cannon, which soon were sending projectiles crashing through the fort’s seven-and-a-half-foot-thick walls. Wide gaps were opened, and explosive shells passing through the holes threatened the powder magazine. Thirty hours after the bombardment began, the fort surrendered.
Fort Pulaski, on Cockspur Island, is located fifteen miles east of Savannah on U.S. 80; a causeway links the island to the mainland. Open daily, 8:30-5:00, except on Christmas. The Visitor Center contains a small museum and offers a fifteen-minute audiovisual presentation, lectures, weapon demonstrations, and guided tours by advance reservation. Admission is $2 for adults, children under sixteen free, maximum charge of $4 per car. For information phone 912-786-5787.
Green-Meldrim HouseWhen William Tecumseh Sherman arrived in Savannah, he planned to make his headquarters in a hotel. Charles Green, a wealthy English cotton broker, offered him the use of his home. “If you don’t take it,” Green said, “some other general will. I much prefer you.”
The house, now called the Green-Meldrim House, is one of the city’s most striking, a blend of Georgian and Gothic revival styles with battlements and a cast-iron porch. Its rooms are filled with Italian sculpture and European paintings.
It was from this house that Sherman sent President Lincoln the telegram that read: “I beg to present to you, as a Christmas gift, the city of Savannah, with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition; also, about 25,000 bales of cotton.”
Green-Meldrim House, St. John’s Church, 1 W. Macon St., Savannah, GA 31401, is now owned and operated by the St. John’s Episcopal Church. Tours Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 10:00-4:00. It is closed the two weeks before Easter, December 15-January 15, and the week of November 10. Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for students. For information phone 912-232-1251.
The Manor HouseBuilt for the Lester Byrd family in the 1830s, this handsome Georgian house was used by Union officers in 1864, after Sherman and his army arrived in Savannah just in time for Christmas. Now an all-suite inn, it is tucked away in the residential part of the city’s famed historic district, a short walk from the Green-Meldrim House where William Tecumseh Sherman made his headquarters after he marched through Georgia.
The Manor House is a luxurious town house. Each of the double parlors has a cozy fireplace, and all are furnished with fine English and American antiques. Oriental rugs grace polished heart-of-pine floors. Each guest suite has all the comforts of a luxury hotel—a gas fireplace in the comfortable sitting room, fresh flowers, milled soaps and bath salts, percale sheets, down-filled pillows, and a nightly turndown service with brandy and chocolates left by the bed.
Guests may choose to have breakfast, which comes with flowers and the morning paper, in their rooms or on their private verandas.

Inn Scarlett’s FootstepsIf Gone with the Wind is your favorite movie, you are going to love it here. K. C. and Vern Bassham bought this white-columned plantation house in 1993 and made it a bed-and-breakfast with a GWTW theme. Scarlett and Rhett would be right at home. The strains of Tara’s Theme greet you when you approach the front door, which is framed by magnolias and live oaks.
The Basshams, who dress in period costumes, have assembled an impressive collection of GWTW memorabilia, and enjoy showing their prizes to guests. The inn is furnished in period antiques, and each bedroom is named for a different GWTW character.

The VerandaWhen it was built in 1906, this was a Victorian-style hotel called the Hollberg Hotel, and William Jennings Bryan, the three-time Democratic candidate for president, was one of the notables who stayed here.
For years it was host to the annual reunion of Georgia’s Confederate Veterans, and a young reporter from the Constitution named Margaret Mitchell used to come down from Atlanta to listen to their stories, some of which found their way into a book she was writing called Gone with the Wind.
Everything about the place says relax, make yourself comfortable. No wonder the inn has built a loyal following among travelers. In the parlor are cozy rocking chairs and a rare 1930 Wurlitzer player piano-organ complete with chimes, and a collection of antique games and puzzles. The guest rooms have quilts and fresh flowers.

Andersonville PrisonDisease and malnutrition killed men in every military prison, North and South, but this one was the worst. One prisoner described prison life at Andersonville in his diary: “There is so much filth about the camp that it is terrible trying to live here. With sunken eyes, blackened countenances from pitch pine smoke, rags and disease, the men look sickening. The air reeks with nastiness.”
Nearly thirteen thousand Union soldiers perished here in fourteen months, and Andersonville became so notorious that its very name became a rallying cry for those who wanted to punish the Confederate States for leaving the Union. (The author’s great-great-grandfather, Charles S. George, an eighteen-year-old private in the Twelfth Vermont Infantry, was a prisoner at Andersonville for eleven months. When he enlisted he weighed 168 pounds; when he was released he weighed nearly half that, 88 pounds.)
When the war ended, the commandant, Captain Henry Wirz, was arrested and charged with “murder, in violation of the laws of war.” Wirz was tried by a military tribunal as a war criminal, found guilty, and hanged.
Today Andersonville has a new role: it is a memorial to all Americans ever held as prisoners of war. On the site is a National Cemetery, the final resting place of the 12,912 prisoners who died here. The cemetery is hauntingly beautiful, and to wander among the white headstones is an emotional experience.
Andersonville National Historic Site is sixty-five miles south of Macon and ten miles northeast of Americus on GA 49. It is open daily, 8:00-5:00, except Christmas and New Year’s Day. An audiotape to accompany the self-guided tour is available as well as an audiovisual presentation on the American Prisoner of War experience. On the last weekend in February, the opening of the prison is reenacted, and on the first weekend in October there is a reenactment of the opening of the National Cemetery. Admission is free. For information phone 912-924-0343.
A Place Away Cottage Bed and BreakfastGuests coming here to learn about the notorious Confederate prison camp will find no better teacher than Peggy Sheppard, the owner of this rustic bed-and-breakfast. A former teacher in the local school system, she wrote a small book about the prison’s history, Andersonville, Georgia, USA, and published it herself; it is now in its eleventh printing.
One of Ms. Sheppard’s recent guests was a direct descendant of Captain Henry Wirz, the prison camp commander. The guest, Heinrich Wirz, a Swiss army colonel, was here to take part in a program to help create a better understanding of his unfortunate ancestor’s role at the camp.
The cottage, built in 1923 to house the school principal, is a block away from the town’s little Civil War Village, a collection of antique shops and restaurants, and a half-mile from the old prison. Ms. Sheppard personally delivers breakfast.
