On Saturday, May 25, at 11 am, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will present a 1-hour ranger program focusing on soldiers’ injuries associated with the Battle of Chickamauga. This program will begin at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center, then it will car caravan out onto the battlefield.

During the Battle of Chickamauga, men were exposed to horrible sights and injuries that stayed with them, either hidden in their minds, or by having to live with the crippling effects of the physical injuries they received. This program will explore the experiences of three men who fought at Chickamauga on those bloody days in September 1863 and find out how the battle shaped the rest of their days.
