The Hiwassee River and the settlements on its banks were witness to important and ultimately heartbreaking historical events.  Settled around the river, Charleston and Calhoun were often referred to as the twin cities.  These two southern river towns in Tennessee may be small, but their place in history is significant and largely untold until now.  An important piece of American history was almost lost until the residents of these two cities decided this was a story that needs to be told and a people who need to be remembered.
