  • Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, 1890-1942
    CHAPTER TWO: THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHICKAMAUGA AND CHATTANOOGA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK, 1890-1942 1 COMMEMORATING THE CIVIL WAR The Civil War was a watershed event in American history and a signal event in the lives of all who participated in it. Of the 2.75 million Americans who saw action in the war, 621,000 died and 470,000 were wounded. Efforts to memorialize the fallen and recognize and aid veterans and their survivors began even before combat ceased. The creation of the first Civil War national military parks in the 1890s was preceded by twenty-five years of private and state memorial efforts. Commemorative efforts began in the mid-1860s with the formation of local memorial associations in the South, the creation of Union soldiers’ cemeteries at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and Antietam, Maryland, the preservation of land at Gettysburg, the establishment of national cemeteries by the federal government, and the creation of veterans’ groups, mostly in the North. In the early postwar years, commemoration took different forms in the North and the South. In the 1880s and 1890s, as the veteran population aged, commemorative activity expanded, and contact between ex-Confederates and ex- Federals increased. Blue-gray reunions, often held on the battlefields, became common. The interaction at reunions, a spirit of sectional reconciliation and commemoration of the sacrifice of both sides, and an increased appreciation of the nation’s past all contributed to the successful movement to establish national battlefield parks. In the South, independent, local memorial associations sprang up rapidly during and after the war. Many originated in women’s wartime groups organized to do hospital and relief work.

    Myth and History: The John Ross House through Time The National Park Service and The John Ross House Association, Inc. 2007 JOHN ROSS HOUSE CCSP – BISHOP -- 2007 Myth and History: The John Ross House through Time by William J. Bishop Vice-President Trail of Tears Association, Georgia Chapter Under a joint partnership between The National Park Service and The John Ross House Association, Inc. Funded in part by The National Park Service Challenge Cost Share Program April 2007 2 JOHN ROSS HOUSE CCSP – BISHOP -- 2007 Acknowledgements This project was managed by the John Ross House Association, Inc. and its president, Larry Rose, whom I thank for allowing access to the John Ross House to conduct field research and for providing numerous helpful documents, such as the Ruskin correspondence and the scrapbooks of the John Ross House Association. Carey Tilley, the original historian on this project, laid the groundwork, defined the scope, and prepared the research questions. The University of West Florida’s Special Collections Department was especially helpful in providing access to the papers in the Panton, Leslie & Co. Collection. The state of Georgia’s GALILEO project was crucial in providing access and leads to numerous relevant historical documents. Likewise, Google and its associated websites, Google Books and Google Earth, are tremendous tools for the modern researcher and should be acknowledged. Dr. Georgina DeWeese of the University of West Georgia deserves special recognition for establishing a definitive date of construction for the John Ross House through dendrochronology. Dr. Sarah Hill provided information on Cantonment Wool and has been a staunch advocate and supporter in all my research-related endeavors, for which I am extremely grateful.
