Walking
the Line
(2014)
What kept General Sherman out of Atlanta for six weeks when he had superior numbers of forces? An encircling line of 36 cannon forts and defensive lines between them. They never fell, they were abandoned when the Confederates realized they could not get supplies when all the rail lines were cut. The Union forces admired them, then left town on Sherman's March, and the forts were soon forgotten.
"Walking the Line" tells you where you can go by foot, bike and car to
find the locations of the lines and forts, including those places where,
if you know what to look for, you can still see their remains.
Complete with maps, photos, and directions!

wall (still around in parts from more than 1500 years ago!), building
ruins above and below ground, what's left of its aqueduct that brought
water to the city (and was the longest Rome ever made), cemeteries and
graves, and guard towers. English language (German is coming!)

Bicentennial Edition Now Available!
In 1825 the Marquis de Lafayette, during the course of
a one-year tour of the United States, visited the new state of Alabama,
his first time west of the Appalachian Mountains. For nine days he
journeyed along the Federal Road, one of the first government-made roads
connecting the far ends of the nation, through the Creek Nation still
existing but actually doomed to cease, and down the Alabama River on one
of the earliest steam boats. Where did he go? If he did the trip
today, what would he see? What would be the same? What would be
different? And how would you follow along with him on modern roads?

Lafayette took through the state, with driving directions, modern maps,
