On WABE
public radio the other day when I turned it on
Cascade Falls off Sand Town Road in Atlanta was being discussed. I only caught some of it. My ears perked up when I realized they were
talking about a little known Civil War site.
It isn't well known because it is not in the history books according to
the speaker. He said it is not in the
history books because the winner s get to write the history books. He was saying at Cascade Falls the
Confederates lured a whole company into the Cascade Falls area and it is shaped
like a horseshoe. So, the Rebs got the Yanks in the area which
was a trap and decimated them - so said the guy being interviewed, which I take it he was a historian. Also mentioned it got its name because there
is a waterfall that falls down some rocks, cascade style. The radio people stopped and asked several
people that visited the falls - they said it was the best kept secret. I suppose
it WAS - not now. Thanks WABE!
Did you know Atlanta had a waterfall?
