Prehistoric North American Indians, the Cherokee, a Georgia Gold Rush, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil War are all part of an intricate pattern of connections centered here.A modern reservoir has turned the ancient Etowah and Little Rivers into a broad lake that now covers much of the land holding the hidden history of Lake Allatoona.
