of sign:
Walker County
Created
December 18, 1833, and named for Major Freeman Walker of Augusta,
prominently attorney and United States Senator.
Here
the fierce Chickamaugas preyed upon pioneers, and in turn defeated
and driven away; here Federals and Confederates
locked
in combat in 1863.
Lookout
Mountain and its spur Pigeon Mountain on the West, Taylor's and
Dick's Ridges on the east of the county provide
spectacular
scenery. Rich coal and iron deposits abound; between the
mountains lie fertile valleys.
