Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can local histories of interracial conflict and collaboration teach us about the potential for urban equity and social justice in the future? Courtney Elizabeth Knapp chronicles the politics of gentrification and culture-based development in Chattanooga, Tennessee, by tracing the roots of racism, spatial segregation, and mainstream "cosmopolitanism" back to the earliest encounters between the Cherokee, African Americans, and white settlers. For more than three centuries, Chattanooga has been a site for multiracial interaction and community building; yet today public leaders have simultaneously restricted and appropriated many contributions of working-class communities of color within the city, exacerbating inequality and distrust between neighbors and public officials. Knapp suggests that "diasporic placemaking"—defined as the everyday practices through which uprooted people create new communities of security and belonging—is a useful analytical frame for understanding how multiracial interactions drive planning and urban development in diverse cities over time. By weaving together archival, ethnographic, and participatory action research techniques, she reveals the political complexities of a city characterized by centuries of ordinary resistance to racial segregation and uneven geographic development.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide Book to Lookout Mountain: And Brief Account of Battles Fought Near Chattanooga, Tennessee The village of Chattanooga, lying among the mountains of East Tennessee, has grown into a thriving and prosperous city - "The Pittsburgh of the South," as its enterprising citizens call it and fancy it will prove to be in the near future. It has passed through war, famine (during the siege of '63, when-Gen. Thomas' men tightened up their belts a hole each day, and mules lived, or died rather, upon a sparse diet of fence rails and wagon tongues) flood and fire, and still lives and flourishes as perhaps no other city in the South does - enterprise and vim will win. By the way, the Indian name of the city does not mean "Eagle's Nest," or "Hawk's Nest," as certain veracious newspaper correspondents would have it. Those who have given the subject attention say it was originally the name of a small Indian village, situated on the bank of a creek of the same name, near the base of Lookout Mountain. The word means, in the Cherokee dialect, "to draw a fish out of water," and hence the name was given to the village of Indian fishermen. It was then very appropriate, but, when given to the town built by white men lost its meaning - although it is unique and musical, as most Indian names are.

Book excerpt: In October 1863, the Union Army of the Cumberland was besieged in Chattanooga, all but surrounded by familiar opponents: The Confederate Army of Tennessee. The Federals were surviving by the narrowest of margins, thanks only to a trickle of supplies painstakingly hauled over the sketchiest of mountain roads. Soon even those quarter-rations would not suffice. Disaster was in the offing. Yet those Confederates, once jubilant at having routed the Federals at Chickamauga and driven them back into the apparent trap of Chattanoogas trenches, found their own circumstances increasingly difficult to bear. In the immediate aftermath of their victory, the South rejoiced; the Confederacys own disasters of the previous summerVicksburg and Gettysburgwere seemingly reversed. Then came stalemate in front of those same trenches. The Confederates held the high ground, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, but they could not completely seal off Chattanooga from the north. The Union responded. Reinforcements were on the way. A new man arrived to take command: Ulysses S. Grant. Confederate General Braxton Bragg, unwilling to launch a frontal attack on Chattanoogas defenses, sought victory elsewhere, diverting troops to East Tennessee. Battle above the Clouds by David Powell recounts the first half of the campaign to lift the siege of Chattanooga, including the opening of the cracker line, the unusual night battle of Wauhatchie, and one of the most dramatic battles of the entire war: Lookout Mountain.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chattanooga, Tennessee; Hamilton County, and Lookout Mountain: An Epitome of Chattanooga From Her Early Days Down to the Present; Hamilton County, Its Soil, Climate Area, Population, Wealth, Etc;, Lookout Mountain, Its Battle-Fields, Beauties, Climate, and Other Attractions The settlement of Chattanooga commenced in 1835. At that period, the site of the present city was one vast forest, through which the aborigines roamed at will. In December of the pre vious year, the treaty for the lands in this section was made with the Indians, and ratified by the U. S. Senate May, 1836. At this time there were but few whites here - a primitive hut did service for a hotel - daniel henderson, esq, father-in-law of our' es teemed fellow-citizen, richard henderson, esq, doing the honors of the host. The name of the place was Ross' Landing, taking its sug gestive title from john ross, a distinguished half - breed, who re sided here, and the Chief of the Cherokee nation. He educated his daughters in North Carolina - thus evincing his estimate of culture and knowledge. He established a ferry and warehouse at the Tennessee River, and resided at Rossville, just over the line, 5 miles south of Chattanooga, in Georgia. In 1835, among the whites who settled here were samuel williams, who is still living, daniel henderson, and john keeney. In 1836 came aaron M. Rawlings, jno. P. Long, D. A. Wilds, W. M. Davis, samuel stewart, wm. Long, Dr. Nathan harris. In 1837 the first postoffice was established, and the first postmaster was Capt. John P. Long, now living in the city, an esteemed, useful member of society. The first news paper was the Hamilton Gazette, by ferdinand A. Parham, deceased in 1862. The material for this paper was floated down the Tennessee river in a flat-boat, from Knoxville, and placed in a small log cabin on Walnut st., near cor. Third. This was the year 1837. Politically, the Gazette was a Whig paper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
