History
-------
From the Creek word for "river of blood," Chickamauga is the site of one of
the bloodiest battles of the civil war.  This battle was particularly
significant in history as paving the way for "Sherman's March" through
Georgia which allowed the destruction of one of the major strongholds of
the South, Atlanta.


Sightseeing/Tourist Attractions
-------------------------------
There is a military park on the battleground, with periodical reenactments,
there are bicycle trails, historical monuments, and on Independence Day
there is a symphonic presentation known as "Pops In The Park."


Spots to Avoid
--------------
The actual city of Chickamauga, which is worse than Twin Peaks.  There is
one red light, five or six Barney Fife look-alikes, and a whole slew of
Deliverance types.


Avoid at All Costs
------------------
A man with a big nose named "Sonny Day."  Experiences delusions of grandeur
concerning the town of Chickamauga and his particular role in it (Principal
of local school).
