Chickamauga: reward for missing plaques

A $1,000 reward is being offered for century-old bronze plaques missing from the Chickamauga Battlefield in northwest Georgia.

The Civil War markers were placed by Indiana veterans in 1898 to commemorate their taking part in the 1863 Battle of Chickamauga.

Park officials say rangers discovered the plaques missing in September from the monuments of the 42nd and 88th Indiana Infantry Regiments.
