When Georgia was called debateable,
The King built a fort that's relateable

By describing a blockhouse of wood,
A triangle of soldiers who could

Fend off the Spanish attacks,
But not diseased bugs on their backs,

A blueprint for more forts to come,
Where river and sea become one.

Four trails do run the scope and length
To mill and bluff and rivers end

One historic, one blue, one yellow, one white
The fourth -6 miles- an energetic hike!

An active fault line bisects the park
No earthquake does this fault line spark

Three mills a target for Sherman’s troops
Outfitted soldiers with Roswell-gray suits

Stoneman’s cavalry destroyed so much
The remnants of the mill still touch

The hearts and minds of those who travel
West of Atlanta… can you this riddle unravel?
