A series of springtime travel essays in Tennessee that combine battlefield description, landscape sketching, and close natural-history observation. The writer moves between ridges, riverbanks, and woods around Chattanooga, recounting visits to historic battle sites, encounters with local residents, and quiet hours watching birds and other wildlife.
