“I Have Heard That Yell Before:” Some Of Chickamauga’s Confederate Commanders During Reconstruction

  • Wednesday, May 4, 2016
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park invites the public to attend a 2-hour car caravan tour of Chickamauga Battlefield focusing on the post war activities of several of the battle’s Confederate commanders. This tour begins at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 14.   

Program participants will hear the stories of several former Confederate officers and their efforts during the Reconstruction Era.  "At a time of great tension and conflict, the roles of these men took differing paths - some worked to heal the country, some worked to make sure their story was told, while others worked to maintain control over those less fortunate," officials said.

For more information about programs at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, contact the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center at 706-866-9241, the Lookout Mountain Battlefield Visitor Center at 423-821-7786, or visit the park’s website at www.nps.gov/chch.
