<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Beautifully situated on the Tennessee River between the Cumberland<br>Plateau and the Great Smoky Mountains, Chattanooga has a history as<br>fascinating and diverse as it is long. Chattanooga began as a river landing, <br>and when residents of the small frontier settlement of Ross s Landing<br>met in 1838 to decide upon a new name for their community, they could<br>not have foreseen the changes that would affect the community they<br>named Chattanooga.<br>Within a few years of the 1849 arrival of the first train of the Western<br>and Atlantic Railroad, Chattanooga became an important communications<br>crossroads: the battles of Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, and Missionary<br>Ridge were fought in 1863 to determine control of this strategically crucial<br>location. If these conflicts played a part in deciding the fate of the nation, <br>they also decided the future of Chattanooga. Although the war ravaged<br>the countryside and destroyed city buildings, it also brought new life: <br>Union soldiers and entrepreneurs alike recognized the economic potential<br>of the area and not only rebuilt Chattanooga and Hamilton County, but<br>transformed the region into a progressive industrial center of the South."
