Literature Cited…………………………………………………………………. 15 2 LITTLE SEQUATCHIE COVE The Sequatchie River watershed covers an area of approximately 601 square miles and, as part of the Tennessee River drainage basin, it has approximately 909.3 stream miles (Tennessee, Ch. 1). Technically this watershed begins with a massive spring flowing from Devilstep Hollow Cave—a large limestone cavern. However, due to the karst nature of the watershed, there are hundreds of feeding streams that come from smaller caves. In particular, the section of watershed concerning this plan is the Little Sequatchie River. The Little Sequatchie is characterized as 19.6 miles of plateau escarpment by the state of Tennessee (Tennessee, Ch. 2). Due to the higher velocity and rockiness of a plateau stream, there is less fishing and recreation value in the Little Sequatchie watershed than in the larger Sequatchie watershed. However, it has a higher scenic ranking.

Plans published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) are sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and other affected and interested parties. Plans are reviewed by the public and submitted for additional peer review before they are adopted by the Service. The objectives of the plan will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific tasks and may not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. By approving this recovery plan, the Regional Director certifies that the information used in its development represents the best scientific and commercial data available at the time it was written.

  • Civil War Troop Movements Across the Plateau Following the Tullahoma Campaign Ralph Thompson
    Civil War Troop Movements Across the Plateau Following the Tullahoma Campaign Ralph Thompson Part 1 of a 2 Part Series The Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865. The war’s turning point came in 1863 and was signaled by three main events. The first was the Union’s siege of Vicksburg, which gave the North control of the Mississippi River. The second was the Union victory at the Battle of Gettysburg, which stopped the South’s deepest penetration into Northern territory. After Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s defeat at Gettysburg, Lee was forced to fight a series of losing battles in defense of Richmond. The third event that turned the tide of the war against the South was the loss of Tennessee. The state was critical for two reasons. The first was that its agricultural products were being used to supply the Confederate Army, and second, Chattanooga was a major railway hub that controlled the movement of supplies and equipment and was the gateway to the South. In 1862, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton wrote that the occupation of Chattanooga was regarded by the President as “nearly as important as the capture of Richmond.” The final series of battles for control of Tennessee began in December of 1862 when Union General William S. Rosecrans’ Army of the Cumberland moved against Confederate General Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee at the Battle of Stones River (Murfreesboro). A defeated Bragg retreated to Tullahoma and thus began the Tullahoma Campaign. After an extended period to resupply and train, Rosecrans moved again against Bragg.
