fysburg, vet very much has been done,
and those who visit Chickamauga for
the first time ON the days of the coming
celebration will, no doubt, be greatly
surprised mt the extent of the work.
According to the last report of Score
tary Lamont, the park now contains
1891 acres. One thousand more acres
are to be added, and We're it not for the
exorbitant prices asked by the owners of
adjacent lands still more wonld be
bought Forty-one miles of road have
been built, and state commissions and
a committee from the Society OF the Ar
my of the Tennessee have been occupied
for months in locating the lines Of bat
tie Troops from the following states
took part in the engagements commemo-
rated: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Jersey, New York, North Carroll
ma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee. Texas, Virginia and Wiscon-
sin. Nearly all of these states have APP
pointed commissions, and it is expected
the legislatures of all will eventually
take proper action.
The establishment of the park was
authorized by act of congress in August,
1890. In commendable spirit of pa
triotic cooperation the state of Georgia
has coded jurisdiction over the Chicka-
manga field and the roads approaching
it to the general government, and the
state of Tennessee has coded jurisdiction
over the roads across Lookout mountain,
through the ''above the clouds battle
field. the road thence to Rossville and
the road from RossvilIe along the crest
of Missionary ridge to General Sher-
man IS position on the north end thereof.
The government has purchased Orchard
knob, where the headquarters of Gener-
ais Grant and Thomas were located on
the third day, and also that part of Mis-
sionary ridge where General Bragg g
headquarters were situated. Five OBJ
servation towers Of iron and steel, each
20 feet high, have been erected by the
government-two on Missionary ridge
and three ON the field of Chickamauga.
Two thousand cast iron tablets, each
marking some important event, have
been set up Each of these is 4 by
3 feet in size and bears an inscrip-
ton in plain white letters embossed on
black background. These tablets deal
impartially with the men of the north
and south, the inscriptions indicating
the headquarters, positions and charges
during the various fights. Seventy guns
mounted ON carriages, such as were used
In the battles, indicate the principal po-
sitions occupied by the batteries at
Chickamauga Eight pyramids of heavy
shells, each 10 feet high, have been
erected to show where brigade COM
manders, both Union and Confederate,
were killed. The eight commanders
thus commemoratedw were Brigadier Gem
