The River Line Historic Area

July 11, 2026 , Sat. @1 PM. Speaker & book signing. Learn about our historic Cobb County Chattahoochee River Line Battlefield! Author of "Walking the Line", Dr. Lawrence Krumenaker, will be speaking at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. "Walking the Line" books will be available to purchase on July 11 or online at: https://www.hermograph.com/indexBW.htm
The book includes the 6 mile Chattahoochee River Line Civil War defense line with its exclusive Shoupade forts bordering the Chattahoochee River extending from Vinings to Discovery Park at the River Line. The 80 acre Discovery Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the largest in tact remains from the entire Chattahoochee River Line Battlefield.

I will be giving a public book talk about the Atlanta Campaign, the various defense (and offense) line during the Siege of Atlanta, and most importantly, where the lines are on today's Atlanta area landscape and what's still left to see. I will be signing books at well. July 11 (Saturday) at 1 PM at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. It's FREE! Come and listen and say hello!

6/18/2026 Historic Shoupade Park. This is the last Cobb County Parks scheduled volunteer work day prior to summer break. Super volunteer, Ron Wendt, spent 2 hours single-handedly trimming vegetation from the 2 gun artillery redan to enhance the visitor's view of the fortifications (see Ron in photos), while Roberta focused on removing wisteria vines from the field outside the fence. Cobb staff, Emily & Chase, focused on their routine maintenance including the recent rehabilitation of the wisteria field. Mowing the wisteria has transformed the park aesthetics tremendously!
