t‘Atlanta to Knoxville, Grantville,
Tenn., and Detours Through
Historial and Scenic Spots.
By FRANK T. REYNOLDS,
Secretary Georgia State Automobile
. Association.
If the motorist be the ieast his
torically inclined, a trip overland from
Atlanta to upper BEast Tennessee
would serve to fully satisfy him.
Besides the bits of war history in
the Atlanta-Rome tour, published in
The Sunday American of July 28" to
be encountered between Atlanta and
Cartersville, he can further inform
_or refresh his memory, whichever may
be the case, by going on up to Dal
- ton and taking in Dug Gap, where the
nemorable rock battle occurred in
1865 between the then belligerents,
+ and there also may be pointed out to
him the scenes of the now famous
snowball battle the same year. Be
fore reaching Dalton the embrasure of
the lines and forts ¢f Resaca are
passed. By detouring 12 miles from
Dalton, the traveler may go out to
Spring Place, in Murray County, and
there see a home built by Van, a noted
Cherokee Indian chief. This home
tas a staircase of peculiar design, in
that it is winding and nowhere can
a nail be found, which shows that the
Indian was a sort of building genius.
Three miles farther esatward is Fort
Mountain rearing its lofty top toward
the heavens, and at its summit is a
large, rouind stone fort built by De
{, Soto on his way to discover the Mis
sissippi River. Adairsville, on the
way to Dalton, was named for Adair,
also a noted Cherokee, and was an
interpreter for the white traders.
Near this place are to be seen many
Indiar mounds, which are now near
ly a ecentury old.
When the Memphis and Charleston
Railway was begun it was intended
that Dalton should be the division of
that road, and here was to be the
machine shops. That town was named
for a man by the name of Dalton,
from Boston, and it was he and his
associates who declared that it was
destined- to be the geographical and
business center of the South, but en
terprising Ifast Tennesseeans capital
ized the idea and Atlanta is the re~
sult. Anyhow, Dalton was quite a
commercial center in that day, and
when Ross Landing, now Chatta
~ nooga, acclaimed that she was the
' _ more important the citizens of Dalton
), arose en masse and held a highly in
dignant meeting and geverely criti
, cized Ross Landing toc her imperti
nence. Many Moravian missionaries
,g.sde Dalton their home while they
dministered to the temporal and
spiritual wants of the Indians. She
was then known as Cross Plains, but
afterward took on the name of Dalton.
Just a few miles from Spring Place, in
Murray count, is the old home place
of Commcdore Bartlett, U. S. N, who
until a few years ago had charge of
the Schuylkill Navy Yard in Phila
delphia.
En route from Dalton to Cleveland,
Tenn., a trip of 28 miles, the autoist|
passes the log hut in which General
Winfield Scott, of the United States
army, closed a treaty with Rattling
Gourd and Ridge, chiefs of the Cher
okee Indians, to take them to the
great expanse of the then almost un
inhabited West and grant them res
ervations. This council took place at
Red Clay, in Whitfleld County, 14
miles north of Dalton, in the year
41835, and it was here that an Indian,
having buried his squaw and pap
poose at the edge of Tuck-la-wa-ha
Spring, suffered all the exquisite
pangs that must come to one forever
leaving all that was near and dear
behind and to see no more, slipped a
bayonet from the gun of a trooper.
pulling down the low-hanging bough
of a near-by oak, =aid a brief, fer
vent prayer, threw himsell on the(
point and expired-—went to his happy
hunting grounds. It so chanced lhu({
John Howard Payne was there at ”Wl
time, getting up historical data, wit
nessed the incident and wrote his
world-wide “Home, Sweét Home,"”
that song which may be heard at
every camp fire in the Old World m-{
night, and while »ach heart recalls a
different name, all can and do sing
‘ “Home, Sweet Home.” Payne was
shortly afterward arrested at Cass
“ ville, a few miles above Cartersville
" on this route, for alleged conspiracy
in preventing the Indians from sur-l
* rendering their lands, and was haled
before a judge, to whom he repeated
his song. The judge dismissed I';xyne‘
with the remark that ’'a man who
could write such a sentiment could
not possibly be gulilty of conspiracy
The late Miss Mollie Underwood, of
Dalton, and her father, the late Judge
Underwood, who himself was an in
terpreter, told me that they enter
tained Payne at their home and had
seen the original manuscript of the
song. I understand that a family in
Athens, Ga., has it now. At Cleve
land, Tenn,, Is one of the most popu
lar and prominent fermnale colleges in
the South. Athens, Tenn, is the seat
of the former U. 8. Grant University,
but now a part of the Chattanooga
University.
Near-here was also the home of the
Rev. W. E. Munsey, perhaps tie
brainiest preacher at that time in the
Methodist Church. He certainly was
the mogt pyroteehnic word wivard of
his day. He was far and away ahead
a4t Brand in the Jugwling of the
4 ueen's Knglish. Hig sermon on “The
reation of Man"” was most startling

SUNDAY AMERICAN’S ITINERARY OF THE ROAD TO BORDEN WHEELER
0.0 ATLANTA. From Five Points and Peachtree street go north
on Marietta street. Disregard all right forks and keep left
with trolley to end of trolley. (Or take first right paved
fork on Marietta and you go to river via Howell Mill road.
On this route you skip Inman Yards and Bolton.)
4.8 INMAN YARDS. Take left fork. Cross bridge over rail
road. At north end of bridge is very dangerous curve hid
den by yellow two-story office. Twelve persons have been
killed here by head-on collisions and by striking side of
bridge with autos and motorcycles,
7.7 BOLTON. Cross river bridge. Keep straight.
13.8 SMYRNA. Straight through.
18.7 At stone yard take right fork across railroad; bear left and
follow trolley into
19.6 MARIETTA Turn left one block to in front of First Na
tional Bank, then turn right. Go west straight on Church
and fascinating. It opened by saying,
“There was a time when there was no
thing—not a minim of water, not a
particle of ether,” absolute nihility,
nothing, darkness as hlack as the ebon
pall or the pitchy scowl of hell—it was
then that tge Trinity, God the Father,
(od the Son and God the Holy Ghost,
decided to make man-but how™
It's finality was that They decided to
make man hke Christ. Dr. Munsey
held the pulpits at the biggest church
es in Baltimore and New Orleans, He
studind while vlowing. He literally
burned up his brain with study and
died a young man. From Athens it
is a short detour to White Cliff
Springs and old and noted summer
resort.
It would pay those interested in
live stock to visit the farm of Wilber
force (Geottys near this city. A little
further on you enter Sweetwater,
where ig located a splendid military
institute for boys. You are now in
the Sweetwater Valley, noted for its
live stock, poultry and farming in
terests. At Knoxville an old-timer
will tell you of Parson Brownlow, a
noted citizen of Civil War days, If
he could not convert a man by his
sermons he would with a hickory
stick and there i» no doubt in my
mind but that a certain other na-
Hon-wide known citizen got his idea
of using the big stick from Parson
Brownlow. Brownlow was of such
unique sort that several interesting
pages could be devoted to him. He
feared neither man nor devil. He was

Wautauga is the boyhood home of
Bob Taylor, fiddler, Congressman,
Governor, Senator and platform oras«

first office was that of Congressman.
He defeatex] Pettibone, a brilliant and
died-in-the-wool Republican, in an
overwhelmingly Republican district in
a canvass of about three weeks., His
father and brother were of that party,
Bob was a Democrat, During his race
he and Pettibone met for the first
time at Morristown, 40 miles on this
route above Knoxville, in joint des
bate. It happened that a big circus
was in town that day., The wise man
ager of the show knew that an after
noon debaute would make a big dent
in his box receipts and aeccordingly
hurriedly erected his big top, built a
platform, advertised the meeting to
take place in the forenoon and pro
vided geats. Pettibone opened and in
a heated speech characterized Taylor
as “a mountain gut-scraper.” When
Taylor arose he quietly placed a fiddlg
on one end of the improvised plank
pulpit and a carpetbag on thevether,
He frankyl admitted to being a fid

Morristown was the home of Davy

been in it. It is worth while to go
there and absorh the atmosphere of
such an example of a self -made Presi
dent of these United States. After
the assassination of President Lincoln,
Mr. Johnson was sworn in as Presi
dent. His first big act was to issue
proclamations for opening Southern
ports and for exceptiona)l amnesty, He
vetoed a bill for military government
of the South, 'This caused an extra
gession of Congress, Secretary of War
Stanton was suspended because he
refused to resign. President Johnson
approved a treaty to buy Danish Is
lands, St. Thomas and St. John, for
$7,600,000, which we recently paid
more than three times that much for
Congress voled to impeach Johnson.
It failed by a vote of 7 to 8. John B
Henderson, a Senator from Missouri
cast the deciding vote and once told
me that It wag the one thing of which
he was most proud in his career,

It was also in Greenville that Gen

Goo.d roads and historical points are
the features of our today's trip to
Borden-Wheeler Springs, Ala.—a de
lightful summer resort, where good
waters are to be found and comforta
ble living for the stay. The road
from Atlanta to Cartersville is the
same routed in our Atlanta-to-Rome
run July 28, that the motorist finds
filled with interest.
A few miles out of Marietta we find
Kennesaw Mountain. For two miles
traversing the foothills, and ‘particu
largly along the eastern slope of Ken
nesaw, are the memorial spots where
took place the Battle of Kennesaw
Mountain, June 27, 1864.
This battle was probably the dis
tinctive one of “The Atlanta Cam
paign.” The attack of the Federals
was made with vigor, pluck and per
sistence, and was met with courage
and fortitude by the Confederates. It
was made by Logan’s corps, support
ed by Blair and Dodge.
Nelson’'s Twelfth Louisiana occu
pied a strong line of rifle pits in front
of them.
Both combatants held their posi
tions for an hour.
So constant was the firing on both
sides that the dry leaves and dead
wood were set on fire by gun wad
:ding. The Federal wounded would
'have burned to death had not the
j('onfederate forces been ordered to
cease until the wounded were res
cued.
There were 100,000 troops engaged
in the struggle—>ss,ooo Confederate
and 45,000 Federal.
At Big Shanty—which is now
known as the town of Kennesaw, 26.7
miles out of Atlanta—the Andrews
Raiders stole the engine "General”
and ran it to a point above Ringgold,
hotly pursued by the Confederates,
and abandoned the locomotive only
‘after having used up all the fuel, in
cluding the woodwork on the cabin.
A few days later several of the men
who stole the engine were captured
and hanged in Atlanta.
