Fields of Fire

Chickamauga National Military Park, Georgia

A photographer's happy morning: dramatic sky, a dark tree line with mist before it, and backlit grass glistening with dew...

Chickamauga National Military Park is beautiful, especially in Autumn, yet it preserves ground that witnessed tragedy. In September 1863, the area around Chickamauga Creek was the site of one of the most chaotic and dramatic battles of the American Civil War, second only to Gettysburg in overall number of casualties. Echoes of the conflict still resonate here among the fields and dense forests of Northern Georgia.

There is however one positive effect for Georgia that came from the battle; the area is now carefully preserved by the National Park Service, saved not from "the Yankees" but from land developers. Unlike so much of America, they won't take this ground from us.
