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.
