    • Welcome to liveleak hillbilly. I've been in your nick of the woods. Ive been all over studying battlefields of the Civil War. I'm retired Army and majored in US Military History. Very nice area around Shiloh. Wife and I rode on the bike there taking back roads from here in Chattanooga. We have very nice Battlefield Parks here in Chattanooga and neighboring Georgia.
      Take care.

      • Thanks. I took some Boyscouts to Chickamauga once for a 20 mile battlefield hike. We did an easy pace and finished in about eight hours. Along the way I told the boys all about the fight there, the role of railroads in concentrating force, the fog of battle, the multiplying effect of the Spencer repeating rifle, and the way grape shot could ruin your whole day.

        At the end of the hike, I asked the boys what they had learned about the Civil War. One boy, nursing a blister, said "If you didn' More..

        Another place to go if in the Ga. area is Kennesaw, Ga. at the battlefield. It was the site of the last stand before Sherman went into Atlanta. I am a 33 year Army Vet, Command Sgt. Major and cannot imagi More..

      • There are three museums I can think of in that area. One is the visitor center at Chickamauga with the interpretive show, exhibits, and a massive rifle collection. Another is the Park Service museum outside of Point Park. I remember they had a giant painting of the Battle of Lookout Mountain there. I also remember a place they called "Confederama" that had lights turning on and off on a giant terrain table illustrating the different engagements at the Seige of Chattanooga.

      • Oh yeah. The Confederama was privately owned for 30 years and was at the foot of the mountain and the people of Rock City bought it and moved it to the top of the mountain. IN the winter and fall after the leaves fall, you can see many other monuments all along the side of Lookout Mountain. Most of them are on private property, but you can see them from looking down from Point Park "lookout" platform. I, being from here and knowing many many people, have had the opportunity to visit ma More..

    • Thanks for visiting my page and for the comment.
      I actually live in the state below yours, ga.

      Victor Borge was one of the best comedians of all time in my books. I still love to watch him perform. Thanks for the clip.

      I'm serious about the goats being in the yard though.

    Notes concerning myself and Liveleak. If anybody has comments, they can make them on my channel page.

    Here is a link to my woefully under-visited YouTube Channel.

    And here are some links to some interesting projects by BloodyPeasant, including his Site Map, his Ask blog, and his Unofficial Events Listing.


    My profile sound bite, incidentally, is a snippet from Roy Acuff's rendition of The Tennessee Waltz.

    Folk History Channel

    Entry Added: 1 day ago By: john1054

    I've created a Folk History Channel in which roughly half my Yoursays will now be placed. It will be a section on the Unofficial Site Map which Bloody Peasant has created. I have made it an open channel so that anybody may add uploads to it.

    I checked out Hayden's Hosted Chat last night and played the quiz game at the end of it. I won the first round and got a month of free VIP Chat membership. Then I played the Double or Nothing round and got another month. Woohoo!
