 ===Origin/meaning===
+The Coat of Arms are based on local History. During the Civil War troops under the Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest was in pursuit of raiding Union Troops under Colonel Able D. Streight. To delay the Pursuing Confederates Streight's Troops burned a bridge near Gaylesville in Cherokee Count, Alabama. When reaching the burned Bridge General Forrest ordered Cannons and empty caissons pulled over the River using Ropes and Grapevines. The historcial event symbolises how difficulty can be overcome.
