The gold sparked America\u2019s first gold rush by the \u201c\u201929er\u2019s,\u201d many of whom became \u201849er\u2019s in California in 1849.<\/p>\n<p>The second geology tale begins with the layers of tilted and overlapped sedimentary rocks that gave northwest Georgia (and eastern Tennessee) its Valley and Ridge landscape. The rail line, defensive strongholds, and water sources in the landscape shaped the Atlanta Campaign, which helped seal the outcome of the Civil War.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/08\/witherspoon-bill-2014-geology-lecture-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"176\" height=\"194\" data-attachment-id=\"11930\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2014\/08\/geologist-author-present-golddiggers-generals-tightrope-walkers\/witherspoon-bill-2014-geology-lecture-02\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/08\/witherspoon-bill-2014-geology-lecture-02.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"176,194\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"witherspoon-bill-2014-geology-lecture-02\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/08\/witherspoon-bill-2014-geology-lecture-02.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11930\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/08\/witherspoon-bill-2014-geology-lecture-02.jpg\" alt=\"Bill Witherspoon with book\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\/><\/a>The final tale looks at northeast Georgia\u2019s Tallulah Gorge, site of tightrope walks.
