Geocache Description:


Continuing our Chickamauga Chess series.  This one is near the location of the Glass grist mill, where there were several encounters between Union and Confederate troops.  The distinctive point about this battle is that no foot soldiers were there. This was an artillery duel, involving only artillery batteries and skirmishers, and it was the only such encounter during the Chickamauga campaign.

This cache is on the public roadside, close to the informative signs posted by the Chickamauga Campaign Heritage Trail documenting Civil War sites.  Parking is available just a few feet away.  Do not cross any fences or go into nearby creeks or ditches.  Stay along right-of-way at road level.  You are looking for the usual small metal object...
