Pretty awesome place isn't it. Did you go up in the lookout tower? I used to love it. We went a couple of years ago and went up in the tower and I couldn't hardly step to the edge.

We didn’t. Also the overlook structure at lookout mountain was closed but we still got plenty of good views and pics.
Can you imagine climbing up that in a wool uniform with about 40 lbs of gear in a nice hot July afternoon?
Has been an awesome day.
We’ve arrived at Kennesaw this afternoon.
The countryside reminds me of home.

Years ago, was working with a Customer down that way. Discovered we both liked Civil War history and he took me to Kennesaw. Later discovered that both our great grandfathers were there but on opposing sides!

Lots of bloody battles thru here. I pray it doesn't come to this again. I know the outcome will be totally different! Tracy

Have become a Civil war buff the last few years.  Early July spent a few days walking/driving some battlefields in Virginia-- Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Wilderness, east Petersburg- especially the Crater.  Had a bunch of ancestors in the Pennsylvania 48th, that dug the mine that led to the mismanaged Battle of the Crater.
Couple of things annoyed me:
1. I spent a day at Wilderness and Spotsylvania.  I had the place to myself. Virtually no one else was there.  People are forgetting or not learning history.  Hard to believe there was no one there.
2.  The civil war soldier endured a lot- heavy wool uniforms, carried everything he had on his back, along with a 9 lb rifle in his arms, poor food, long marches, digging trenches and defensive positions, frequently suffering from dysentery, diarrhea.  And oh by the way, got shot at quite a bit.  So, when I got to the NPS visitor center at East Petersburg and set one foot in the door, a prissy park ranger screamed at me that I couldn't come in here without a mask.......!!! Really????  What would the veterans say?  My how far we've fallen in 160 years!!   
  BTW-- I left the center immediately.  Its not 2020 anymore

Have family history on BOTH sides of the Blue/Gray line.  NONE were Slave Holders, most were 'Tenant Farmers' which in layman's terms is Enslaved WHITE People, on BOTH sides of that line.  TN, IA, Carolinas', IL and MO.

Also, the Maryland GOTO in September coincides with the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam,  September 17, 1862.  The bloodiest day in American history.  I plan on visiting the GOTO on Friday and spending Saturday the 17th on the battlefield.  The PA 48th and some other Schuylkill county regiments were heavily involved that day at the Burnside bridge.

Have done Gettysburg twice and, after one of those visits, went on over to Antietam.  Walked the field of "Picketts Charge" at Gettysburg.....swear you can still feel that battle going on.
Also went and visited Normandy.  That was incredible.  All day in a Van with a tour group.   Picked me up at the train station at 7 am and told us "Go to the bathroom, get a water and some snacks, we'll have you back for the 7 pm train back to Paris".  Ended the tour at the American Cemetary (opening scene of Saving Private Ryan was done here).  Every American should stand in that cemetary and listen to Taps being played as they lower the flag at end of day.

Done Normandy in 1974, as well saw Dachau, both set HARD memories.  Several CW Era battle lines in MO too, around Springfield and around the Ozark lands.  Cemetery on BILs Place has a button or small stuff show up above ground on occasion not much and NOT telling Universities where at as would cease ALL activities on the farm due to that.

Both Sides in that burial site best we can tell.
