If you're like me, you are interested in how people approached the Civil War in the years after it was fought.
The December 16th Chattanoogan reported that the reprint of Charles W. Norwood's 1895
Vade-Mecum Guide to the Battled of Chattanooga and Chickamauga is once again available.
Chickamauga was the very first US Civil War military park, established in 1890, so this was only five years later.
It was written by C, W, Norwood, 1st Sgt and Quartermaster of the Union Army who said he had spent much time checking on the book's accuracy.
Much effort was put into this reprint. Mary Helm bought the missing map fron the book at her own expense. Polly Stratton spend 200 hours checking every letter of every word to make sure of accuracy.
You can buy it for $12.95 from the library at 1001 Broad Street, Chattanooga, Tennessee, 37402.
From December 15th Civil War Interactice.
This Would Be of Interest, Especially as Compared to a New Guide. --Old B-Runner
