Virginia &
Tennessee |
The road was chartered in 1849,
construction began in 1850 and was completed in 1856. It was intended to
connect Lynchburg, Virginia to Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee by
connecting to the Tennessee roads at Bristol.
The road was essential to the South. It provided part of the
Chattanooga to Richmond route, allowing the rapid movement of troops and
supplies from the logistics hub of Atlanta and supplies
from the copper mines near Cleveland, Tennessee, the lead mines near
Bristol, the salt works at Saltville, Virginia and saltpeter caves
throughout the region. It also provided the agricultural production from
an area of southwest Virginia that was little touched by the war.
