点评:There are at least 3 battlefields at Chatanooga: Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. While the first two are well represented, Missionary Ridge was not so formally preserved, which is such a shame. It is mostly occupied by private homes with bronze tablets scattered throughout.
All three I found to be extremely hard to locate. Signs were inconsistent and Apple Maps struggled with it. Nevertheless I finally found the main military museum at Fort Oglethorpe. This museum commemorated the battle of Chickamauga. It was a great museum and well put together.
I thought the car tour around the park was inconsistent. If you have been to Shiloh or Vicksburg, those were so much better laid out. I think part of the challenge could have been that Chickamauga battle was so spread out.
You had to drive several miles to get to Lookout Mt and Missionary Ridge. Don’t look for Lookout Mt Battlefield. Instead look for Point Park. Otherwise you will never find it. I got lost several times.
It was a great park and very informative. And very high with an amazing view of the city below. It costs $10 to get into the park.
I regretted that there was nothing on Lookout Mountain that helped you identify Missionary Ridge from Lookout Mountain. I finally identified it afar with the map the park service gave me.
You had to travel another half hour to go over to Missionary Ridge.
If there is a tour available that does all three, I believe that would be an excellent investment to understand the enormity of this important Civil War battlefield.
翻译:在查塔努加至少有3个战场:奇克莫加、卢克奥特山以及传教士岭。前两处都有较好的保护与展示,但传教士岭却未能得到妥善保存,实在可惜。如今这里大多是私人住宅,只有一些青铜纪念牌散落在各处。
我发现这三处地点都极其难以寻找。指示牌不统一,连苹果地图也难以定位。不过,我最终还是找到了位于奥格尔索普堡的主要军事博物馆。这座博物馆是为了纪念奇克莫加战役而建的。它是一座很棒的博物馆,陈列布置得也相当不错。
我觉得在公园内驾车游览的路线安排不太合理。如果你去过希洛或维克斯堡国家公园,就会发现那些地方的路线规划要合理得多。我认为问题的一部分原因在于奇克莫加战役的战场范围实在过于广阔。
要前往瞭望山和传教士岭,必须开车行驶数英里。千万别去找“瞭望山战场”,而应该寻找“波因特公园”。否则你永远也找不到它。我迷路了好几次。
那是个很棒的公园,信息量也很大。公园地势很高,能俯瞰下方的城市美景。进入公园需要支付10美元的费用。
遗憾的是,在瞭望山上没有任何标识能帮助人们区分传教士岭和瞭望山。最后我靠着公园管理部门提供的地图才从远处辨认出了传教士岭。
要前往传教士岭,还得再开车半小时才行。如果有能游览全部三个区域的旅游线路,我认为那将是一次非常值得的投资,能帮助我们了解这座重要的内战战场的规模与重要性。
