- BATTLE OF NARROWS
This battle was fought Oct. 12,
1864 between Confederate troops and Union cavalry in the nearby
mountain pass.
A Confederate victory saved Habersham
county from pilaging by Union troops and camp followers and also
saved grain fields for Confederate troops. There was a [CS] drill
field near the site of the battle.
Some historians have called this
the "Battle of Currahee" because it was fought in sight
of Currahee mountain. Casualties were small and the wounded were
cared for by neighbors.
