The charter of the Chickamauga Memorial Association is finalized and submitted to the Superior Court of Walker County, Georgia. The charter, which lasted for 20 years, allowed anyone to join the group for a lifetime fee of $5.00. The objective of the organization was to acquire land and honor those who fought at Chickamauga, the bloodiest two days of American history. This is the official start of what will become the Chickamauga National Military Park.
