Join us at the Clisby Austin House in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, for an exclusive tour with Chickamauga expert Dave Powell. The house hosted the medical treatment of Confederate General John Bell Hood after the Battle of Chickamauga, and also served as Union General William T. Sherman's Headquarters after the Chattanooga Campaign. Then, Powell and our very own Garry Adelman take you to the questionable site of where John Bell Hood's amputated leg is said to be buried.

While you are in Eastern TN , Close to Knoxville/Sevierville There is a house that was Longstreet's head quarters. The town has grown up around it, but it is well worth seeing.

I appreciate that they are doing a series of videos in my home town. I wish they had more details in the videos. They left out a great deal of historical information about the house. It seems like they are always in a rush in the videos. Anyway. I used to live close to the house and have been in the house several times back in the early 1970's. It was run down back then and in disrepair. Of course it was said it was haunted and had blood stains on the floor. It did look very spooky back then. . Much respect to the Holcomb family who bought the property and restored it so we can enjoy it today. I support the work Battlefield trust is doing and I think it's important work to preserve history. I hope they don't mind a little constructive criticism.

We don’t. It’s always tough. Do we leave out other sites or do we cover fewer sites in more detail. Our approach is to tantalize people to want to visit the places so we visit as many as we can.

I enjoy whenever you do a piece on a civil war structure and it's significance to the war. I also enjoy those episodes that show authentic Civil War weapons or other items, especially those related to the battlefield or place of interest.

I was wondering if at this time, Hood thought he was still marrying "Buck", or Sally Buchanan Preston...in Virginia? Alot of folks don't understand this, but when they talk about "Victorian" times, and Victorian Homes...it simply means that it happened or took place during the time of Queen Victoria's Run as the Head of England, during the time as Queen of of England..which was roughly from 1838, through 1901. She's second ONLY to Queen Elizabeth II of England, 1953- Present, in length of her Reign. We weren't run by England since before 1776, so WHO knows why it's even an issue. And as far as I knew, I figured they'd removed the entirely of the femur bone, even the head of the femur, where it fits into the hip joint. Or at least I figured it was the thing to do.

We enjoy all aspects of this history including what's not just about battle tactics. Put us down for a vote to include house tours and stories about civilians as well as details from the battles. Side note: several years ago we used to hold a Celtic/Cherokee gathering on these grounds one weekend a year.

@anthonyingersoll1982 2 жыл бұрын

Battles and slugging out is only part of the story. The other parts that gets over looked is the affect on the civilian population. Kids being orphaned, wives being left penniless to care for the family, and even some families loosing everything due to battle is only a small part. In regards to Hood's leg being there, there is one sure way of finding out and that is through excavation/archeological dig.
