About this work
G. W. Rich stenciled the words Chattanooga, Chickamauga, and Atlanta on this cane to commemorate three Civil War battles---the Union victories at Chattanooga under General Ulysses S. Grant and at Atlanta under General William T. Sherman; and the Confederate victory at Chickamauga, Georgia, under General Braxton Bragg.
