Annotation: Catoosa County's rich history touches upon many of the

defi ning events and social changes of America's past. As settlers

expanded westward, Georgia forcibly removed Native Americans from

the boundaries of what would eventually form Catoosa, a Cherokee name

that the settlers adopted as their own. As the site of the second most costly

battle in the Civil War, Chickamauga set the stage for much that followed

in Catoosa's history, from the end of a three-thousand-year-old mode

of warfare to the beginnings of women's service in the military. Though

nearly one million people visit Chickamauga and Chattanooga National

Military Park each year seeking to understand and connect to the Civil

War struggle, many remain unaware of the larger part Catoosa played in

the unfolding drama of America. Join local historian Jeff O'Bryant as he

brings this valuable heritage to light.
