The Battle of Chickamauga

One of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War was fought on this field at Chickamauga. The park was established in 1890 and laid out by a commission of Union and Confederate veterans, men who had met in mortal combat here twenty seven years earlier. Across the seven mile field, monuments and cannon mark the locations where units and batteries were engaged in battle, and blue and gray metal tablets are positioned so the scene of action is viewed as the troops on the tablets saw it.
