So, I was digging around for some local history stuff, you know, just killing time, and I stumbled upon this “Franklin Bonner Chattanooga” thing. I’d never heard of it before, so naturally, I got curious. It sounded old-timey, so I figured it had to be interesting.
My Little Investigation
First, I just did a simple search. Typed it in, hit enter, and waited to see what would pop up. I saw a few things mentioning a name, a place… it was all very vague at first. I needed to piece it together like a puzzle.
Then, I started looking at each result more closely. I skimmed through some articles, trying to pick out the important bits. I felt like a detective, trying to find the connecting thread.

- I found out that Franklin Bonner was a person. Okay, good start.
- I figured out that Chattanooga is, well, the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. I knew that already, but it confirmed I was on the right track.
- Then I saw something about real estate… I had the basic picture.
So, I put two and two together. Franklin Bonner, Chattanooga, real estate… It’s seems that Franklin Bonner was a person doing some land business in old Chattanooga.
I kept looking, trying to find out more details. It’s like, once you get a little bit of information, you just want to know everything. It is so funny, I spent a good chunk of my afternoon just reading about this. And you know what? It was actually pretty interesting to see how things were back then.
