Welcome to The River of Death, the blog for Lee University’s HIST 490: The Battle of Chickamauga in History and Memory!
This site serves as a repository and online resource for information about HIST 490, an upper-level special topics seminar offered at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. In this course, students will explore various aspects of the 1863 military campaign to capture Chattanooga, from its planning and execution, to the fateful Battle of Chickamauga and its place in public and historical memory.
HIST 490 students will engage in original research projects, readings and discussions about Chickamauga and efforts to commemorate and preserve the site. The heart of the course will consist of several weekend battlefield excursions to Chickamauga National Military Park in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, where students will explore issues of the Civil War combat experience, tactics, terrain, battlefield preservation, monuments and public commemoration firsthand.
HIST 490 is taught by Dr. Drew S. Bledsoe, Assistant Professor of History at Lee University.
