Chickamauga Battlefield, Georgia
August 26, 2006
This is Chickamauga, site of a vicious battle between Union and Confederate troops in the fall of 1863 for control of Chattanooga, the gateway to the deep south. While there, we happened upon a regiment that was reenacting a gun battle, and then bought an audio CD to narrate the self-guided driving tour around the battlefield. Katie not only was intrigued with the stories of the three day battle, but also offered a clever play on words...
Katie: "They already had knives, right?" Me: Yes, they fought with knives and bayonets and guns.
Katie: "So the war was to decide who got the forks and spoons?"
Me: What?
Katie: Didn't you said it was called the 'Silverware War?' |
