Chattooga County in the Civil War

Relatively untouched by the War Between the States, the county did send its men to battle as the Chattooga Rangers. Trained at Camp McDonald near Moon's Station, the group was highly regarded by both sides during the war. This group, along with others from the county were included in General John Bell Hood's Army of Tennessee as it began the abortive Nashville Campaign in late 1864. The Confederate Army did pass through the county, closely followed by a significantly larger Union Army. While in Summerville, William Tecumseh Sherman wired General Halleck with his plans for the March to the Sea.
