Allatoona Pass Battlefield



Allatoona Pass is a historically significant location due to its role in two major incidents during the American Civil War. In April 1862, James Andrews’ raiders on board the steam locomotive General passed through Allatoona Pass during what has become known as the Great Locomotive Chase. Two and a half years later on October 5, 1864, following the fall of Atlanta, one of the most stubbornly fought battles of the Civil War was waged on the site.
