(2015) Enlarge Today, all that remains of the Widow Eliza Glenn home is the hearthstone where she prepared meals, celebrated Christmas, and rocked her children to sleep, basking in the warmth of a tender fire. Monuments to the soldiers who fought and died at Chickamauga dot the landscape all around
