The Brabson-Loveman House in Chattanooga, Tennessee was built in 1858 by Reese Bowen Brabson. The home was modified greatly over the years with the columns added in the 1930s by David Loveman who owned D.B. Loveman’s Department Store in downtown Chattanooga.
.
Mr. Brabson’s original version of the home was nevertheless grand. He was a local attorney and politician who served his district both in the United States House of Representatives (1859-1861) and the Tennessee House of Representatives (1851-1852). Though Mr. Brabson was a slaveholder, he strongly opposed secession and refused involvement on either side of the Civil War.
.
However his home was used as headquarters for General Braxton Bragg in 1862 and later for wounded Confederate soldiers in 1863. And, as a lawyer, he defended James J. Andrews, a Union operative facing court-martial for leading the raid known as the Great Locomotive Chase in 1862. Mr. Brabson died of typhoid fever soon after in 1863. #southernreverie
Point Park in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee is a memorial park that overlooks Lookout Mountain Battlefield and the city of Chattanooga. As peaceful as the park is today, it is difficult to imagine the past conflicts and battles that took place on this beautiful mountain.
.
It is said that during the American Revolutionary War, a battle took place there between the forces of John Sevier and those of Chief Dragging Canoe of the British aligned Chickamauga Cherokee.
.
Lookout Mountain was also the scene of the "Last Battle of the Cherokees" during the Nickajack Expedition, which took place in 1788.
.
On November 24, 1863, the Battle of Lookout Mountain was fought on the slopes of the mountain. It was called The Battle Above the Clouds because of the fog that had descended around them. The majority of the battle was hand-to-hand combat with almost 2000 casualties.
.
The name “Lookout Mountain” most likely comes from the Cherokee term for "two mountains looking at each other.” #southernreverie

The official nickname for Chattanooga, Tennessee is “Scenic City”, but this beautiful Southern city has many unofficial nicknames including “River City” and “Nooga.” Native Americans inhabited the area for thousands of years prior to European settlement including the Mississippian, Muskogean, Yuchi, and Cherokee. It is thought that the name “Chattanooga” derives from two Muskogean words meaning “rock” and “dwelling,” though the specific origins are unknown and could also be Cherokee in origin meaning “rock rising to a point.”
.
The Cherokee first occupied the area around 1776 when Cherokee war chief, Dragging Canoe, separated from the main tribe to lead a resistance against European settlement. He allied and fought with the British in the American Revolution against the colonists. He settled in what is now the Chattanooga area. In 1816, John Ross became the Principal Chief of the Cherokees and established Ross’s Landing here which became a center of the Cherokee Nation. In 1838 Ross’s Landing was used by the U.S. Army as a large internment camp where the Cherokees and other Native Americans were held before their forced journey on the Trail of Tears. In 1839, Ross’s Landing became the city of Chattanooga.
.
Ross’s Landing is memorialized today at Ross’s Landing Riverfront Park along the Tennessee River and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. #southernreverie
