What? America today has the awesome task of also thinking and experimenting, as did other American inventors to sustain a valid position in the global economy.
Why? As Americans we owe this responsibility to all the innovators who ventured to think in-depth about mind-boggling concepts and build an innovative technical foundation in America.
Hint: So we must continue in global competition to be an exemplary model in technical research and exploration in technical endeavors.
How? In our now global economy,we must rethink our method of advancing our innovativeness to a higher technology. The old way of denying access and encrypting this science on a national level must be changed to windows of opportunity and transparency that exist within the global nations whom are our global competitors.
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.
“A Rip in Time at the Battle of Chickamauga” is a science fiction story, but gives a factual description of the Battles of Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Ringgold Gap, and discusses what went wrong for the Confederates.In addition, as the story is told it lets the reader know where the “LaFayette Road” actually ran at the time of the Civil War.In some places its path was the same as the present day Highway 27.In other places it took a different route.Read this story and see if you already knew the exact route.
We found the diary of Miss Josephine H. Hooke while searching for reference material relating to the members of the Lookout Artillery, which is better known as Barry’s Battery.Ms. Hooks’ father, Judge Robert M. Hooke, was a strong supporter of the Battery, and another young man named James H. Hooke, a relative of Judge Hook was a member of the unit.After reading the diary, however, we felt that the document is so interesting and unique that it should have a separate treatment.The account of how a young woman with her family and friends spent months living on the railroad in train cars as refugees from the Federal Army gives a perspective of the war that can not be found in official military documents.
This account of some of the historic African American places in the Chattanooga area was made possible through the earlier work of numerous researchers and the assistance of many individuals, and I would like to take this time to acknowledge their help and express my thanks for all that they did.
In the early morning hours of December 2, 1983, a man lay dying on the floor of the infamous Chattanooga Jail. This is the story of that man, his life, his death, his family, and how the struggle for justice has led to a series of victories and defeats in Chattanooga. Few people know the true story behind this struggle, because the story is at once intensely private and publicly misinterpreted. This is my attempt to tell the real story from my perspective and from the perspective of those closest to me who contributed to the fight. What has been accomplished? Where do we go from here? Who defines that direction? And what is lost or won in that definition?
Once storyteller’s tales were repeated for generations. Folks called her Granny Mac. Mildred MacMahon was her name. Could she tell a story! Granny; had one for every occasion. They were usually about the William Bean family, who moved into Tennessee in 1768. You see, Granny Mac was a Bean Sprout. That expression describes that this person is kin to the Bean family of Tennessee. The Beans here are descendants of folks who came to the United States from Scotland by way of Ireland. They are called Scotch-Irish in Appalachia.
