ROCK
CITY
THE
EIGHTH
WONDER
OF
THE
WORLD
and
on
the
roof
of
a
tumbledown
milking
shed
nearby
,
painted
in
white
block
letters
,
SEE
SEVEN
STATES
FROM
ROCK
CITY
THE
WORLD
’
S
WONDER
The
driver
is
led
by
this
to
believe
that
Rock
City
is
surely
just
around
the
nearest
corner
instead
of
being
a
day
’
s
drive
away
,
on
Lookout
Mountain
,
a
hair
over
the
state
line
,
in
Georgia
,
just
southwest
of
Chattanooga
,
Tennessee
.
Lookout
Mountain
is
not
much
of
a
mountain
.
It
resembles
an
impossibly
high
and
commanding
hill
,
brown
from
a
distance
,
green
with
trees
and
houses
from
up
close
.
The
Chickamauga
,
a
branch
of
the
Cherokee
,
lived
there
when
the
white
men
came
;
they
called
the
mountain
Chattotonoogee
,
which
has
been
translated
as
the
mountain
that
rises
to
a
point
.
In
the
1830s
Andrew
Jackson
’
s
Indian
Removal
Act
forced
them
all
from
their
land
—
all
the
Choctaw
and
Chickamauga
and
Cherokee
and
Chickasaw
—
and
U
.
S
.
troops
forced
every
one
of
them
they
could
find
and
catch
to
walk
over
a
thousand
miles
to
the
new
Indian
Territories
in
what
would
one
day
be
Oklahoma
,
down
the
Trail
of
Tears
:
a
cheerful
gesture
of
casual
genocide
.
Thousands
of
men
,
women
,
and
children
died
on
the
way
.
When
you
’
ve
won
,
you
’
ve
won
,
and
nobody
can
argue
with
that
.
For
whoever
controlled
Lookout
Mountain
controlled
the
land
;
that
was
the
legend
.
It
was
a
sacred
site
,
after
all
,
and
it
was
a
high
place
.
In
the
Civil
War
,
the
War
Between
the
States
,
there
was
a
battle
there
:
the
Battle
Above
the
Clouds
,
that
was
the
first
day
’
s
fighting
,
and
then
the
Union
forces
did
the
impossible
,
and
,
without
orders
,
swept
up
Missionary
Ridge
and
took
it
.
The
troops
of
General
Grant
won
the
day
,
and
the
North
took
Lookout
Mountain
and
the
North
took
the
war
.
There
are
tunnels
and
caves
,
some
very
old
,
beneath
Lookout
Mountain
.
For
the
most
part
they
are
blocked
off
now
,
although
a
local
businessman
excavated
an
underground
waterfall
,
which
he
called
Ruby
Falls
.
It
can
be
reached
by
elevator
.
It
’
s
a
tourist
attraction
,
although
the
biggest
tourist
attraction
of
all
is
at
the
top
of
Lookout
Mountain
.
That
is
Rock
City
.
