sleepy little Southern towns

Dotted all along Southern highways are sleepy little towns, just out of sight of busy interstates. Life goes on as always. Some folks are still farmers like their grandfathers before them. Others are shopkeepers like their fathers. Still others are lawyers and some computer geeks. Just plain folks living in the South.

But you may not meet any of them unless you exit the fast paced thoroughfares criss-crossing the South. This is part of Tunnel Hill, GA, with some of its 150+ year old buildings still being used. It's just 3 miles off I-75 and right on Highway 41.

The folks are friendly. Stop in and visit over a glass of sweet tea.

Confederate Hospitals and Ringgold Courthouse

This courthouse sits in Ringgold, GA, just across Nashville Street from the wedding chapel - see post from yesterday.

In front of the courthouse is this historical marker with information about Confederate hospitals in the North Georgia area. If you click on the image, you'll be able to read the information.

I've posted several photos having to do with the Confederate cemetery and hospitals, and which reference the Civil War. This is done because of pride in my heritage. I love living in the South.

But I also remember that everyone who died in the Civil War ---- they were ALL Americans.
