Chickamauga 2018

[War Horse]

I don't know yet. I have a buddy I am waiting for an answer on where we stayed when I went down there a couple 3 year ago. Probably be a good place to get rooms reserved. I'll post it as soon as he answers me. We were there in September for the 150th. I also have a location for some good maps I'll post when I get a chance to dig them out.
Bed time. Checkout time.

Yeah, I forgot, you are a lot older than me sleep well Reb.

I did some looking with google maps. There is a Cracker Barrel restaurant and several fast food places 2 miles south from the location of the Hampton Inn mentioned.

There is also a Holiday Inn Express near the Cracker Barrel

I saw Cracker Barrel when I searched for eateries. I will contact the Holiday Inn Express and get information. I have already spoken with the Marketing Rep at the Hampton Inn.

Here is a place where you can get excellent maps. They are waterproof and also have all the monuments on them.

I have the Chickamauga map. Sure wish the Kennesaw Mountain map wasn't out-of-stock.

You might checkout Ebay and Amazon first as they have them cheaper at times.

Just bought the Antietam map (since I was there this year) from Amazon - I'm a Prime member so I get free shipping. I did look for the Kennesaw Mountain @bdtex while I was in Amazon, but it is unavailable there. I thought there would be a used copy available from some seller but no. A mystery why it isn't in print or available.

Check out the civilwar. Trust as they have good maps you can print out and they have great descriptions of which you can follow.a lot of battles have an animated view of the battle.I'm not sure of Kennesaw but the animated map of Chickamauga is worth watching.

I have private messaged him. Hopefully I will hear from him soon.

Unless something has changed he works as a NPS ranger/guide. You might catch him by calling the visitor center.
