Originally sympathetic with the Union, find out what triggered the turning point for the city of Athens. Also learn about the United States Colored Infantry stationed at Fort Henderson as well as speculation that the famous short story, \"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,\" may have been inspired from the Battle of Sulphur Creek Trestle right here in Limestone County.
