I was 5 years old when the Battle took place...and just about all my relatives lived in Athens....my Grandfather was Station Agent for the Southern Railway Depot there for 55 years.....I can remember going up to visit right after the Battle...there was a hardware store next to the jail at the time....had wood floors....big windows on the side nearest the jail......there was a brand new pedal car sitting over by the window....I ran over to look at it....but stopped when I saw on the other side of it....a big pool of dried blood........thats my memory of the Battle.........
