It's been mentioned here how Chattanooga might have been mistaken for Chattooga, as in the river on the state line that would be in the Lgg range on Brian's range map.
The flooding the past few days in north Georgia has reminded me there's another "Chatta....." -- the Chattahoochee River. Instead of possibly violating Wikipedia's copyright rights, by posting its map here, I'll link instead to Wikipedia. It's got a nice map showing the river flows from northeast to southwest georgia, potentially running from very near Lgg range through the intergrade zone and subsequently through a lot of nigra range.
None of the early oral histories of the albino "eastern" king in question mentioned the Chattahoochee, but none mentioned the Chattooga, either. Once more, we conclude we'll probably never know the precise origins. People's opinions on the ssp of origin will probably need to depend on the first animal's appearance and kevin's having gotten it from the same fella who sold him normal looking easterns in the past, and kevin's account of comparing the first one to easterns and concluding they were the same. It's circumstantial and probably (I'm saying that a lot here!) the best we can do.
