A Rip in Time at The Battle of Chickamauga

    Many people live in an area all their life and know little of the area’s history.  In some cases their town even had a different name in the past. Good examples are Rawlingsville being the name of Fort Payne Alabama during the Civil War, Elyton being the name of Birmingham, Alabama, and Crawfish Springs being the name of Chickamauga, Georgia.  The main road through an area may have taken a different path in past times.  Current residents in a community may wonder why an old house or building is turned a particular way and not facing the street or road.  This story also provides photographs and information about historical buildings located at or near the routes of march of the opposing armies.
