Chattanooga Tennessee History and Cartography (1871)

[@skinden1815]

I'm in Chattanooga right now! So much history and just feel the energy here! Beautiful area!

[@MaryLouTido]

You keep zooming in and out without pausing long enough for viewers to "get their bearings" or be able to read the names of streets.I love history so being able to actually read the street names and see where they are located is of great interest to me.

I have to agree. I've lived in this area most of my life and I'm very into local history. I *might* have been able to tell you a bit more, but it was too fast and jerky to orient myself, and figure out what used to be there. I THINK that the stockyards and train station were near that tannery, but even trying to pause it, I couldn't catch a street name to be sure. The Union troops built up the waterworks in order to expand the Ironworks and mills. They also built two big sawmills, one near the river and one on Moccasin Bend. My great great grandfather lost both his hands in one. My grandmother remembered packing his pipe and holding it for him so he could smoke when she was a little girl.

Outstanding review of that 1871 Birdseye view map of Chattanooga Adam . I meant to visit that city while I was down here but just didn't have enough time . There are a lot of cool sites to visit there as well . Great video Adam .

+AmericanCoinHunting Thanks Dave! Ya Tennessee is state rich with great history! Civil War, industrial and Native American history.. I was in Kentucky about 3 years ago and I loved the rural areas.. Never been to Tennessee but I would love to visit for sure.. Nashville would be a great town to go as well...

I live here and find this video very interesting. I would like to know more about the many forts that were located in and around Chattanooga during the civil war. For example the star you see on the map in this video on the left side of the map is most likely one that was called star fort.

[@BravuraMediaCompany]

Interesting! Let me look into it and I'll get back to you! Thank you for sharing and commenting.

I enjoyed watching it. ❤️

This was nice! I was searching black history, when coming across your video. My grandfather was born in Menphis Tennessee in the 1860’s… I was curious to what Tennessee looked like back then. Being Indian territory, makes me wonder if they had all been put on reservations at this time? OR were any of them inslaved along with the African people back then…

[@lajuanedavis4642]

I'm native and African American myself in Chattanooga and wonder the same thing about this history alot together

[@kentondickerson]

The local Cherokees and others were diven out of the area in 1838 on the "Trail of Tears". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears

[@trumpcrimefamily132]

Any Ross Landing maps?

[@BravuraMediaCompany]

I'm going to look into that, that would be an amazing map to look at! Thanks for watching and commenting.
