Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1863, Federal forces scored major victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, turning the tide of war in favor of the Union. President Lincoln and his advisors now focused attention on the small town of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The important railroad center offered a gateway to the Confederate heartland. But just as complete victory in the West appeared imminent, General Braxton Bragg's reinforced Rebel army struck back at Chickamauga, driving the Federal invaders into Chattanooga, where they were soon besieged. A desperate Lincoln now turned to the hero of Vicksburg, General U. S. Grant, who directed the relief of the beleaguered garrison and, with the help of reinforcements from Virginia and Mississippi, turned a possible disaster into a stunning victory--a victory that opened the door to the Deep South and sealed the Confederacy's doom. In this picturesque setting along the Tennessee River, as Federal troops scaled the heights of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, one Confederate general beheld a scene "grand and imposing in the extreme." Here Lincoln found the winning combination, the men who would lead his armies to ultimate victory--Grant, William T. Sherman, and Philip Sheridan. For the Confederates, who invested such hope and so many resources, the disaster at Chattanooga would be a dark chapter, as veteran troops broke and ran before the Federal onslaught. It was a body blow from which the Army of Tennessee, and indeed the Confederacy, would never recover.
Download or read book General Baldy Smith and the Relief of Chattanooga 1863 written by U.S. Government Printing Office and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the American Civil War, General William Farar "Baldy" Smith seemed always to be at the extremes of glory or blame. In October of 1863, he conducted the engineer operations and launched the Battle of Brown's Ferry, which opened the "Cracker Line" to provide supplies and reinforcements to the besieged troops in Chattanooga. Long after the war, he was still making the case that the plans had been his own and not those of General Rosecrans. In this report, Smith presents his case to a board of army officers, including the brother of General Philip Sheridan, Colonel Michael Sheridan. The report is fascinating for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the details of the efforts to relieve Chattanooga. But the fact that this general was still arguing his case 36 years after the end of the war is remarkable. At issue was the accuracy of the legend of the atlas of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park Commission and future generations' understanding of the action. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil War Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga The park was created as a result of the reunion Of the Army of the Cumberland which was held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on September 19-20, 1889. At this reunion, the Chickamauga Memorial Association was formed. Gen. John T. Wilder was elected president and Gen. Joseph Wheeler vice-president. Then a Board of Directors, numbering 28, were elected. Of this number, an equal division was made Of ex-union and ex-confederate officers. Since that time the various states having troops in the battles have erected hundreds Of beautiful, expensive monuments and mark ers which Show the exact regimental positions Of their troops. The tablets mark the brigade and division positions and give a brief his tory of their activities. The blue tablets mark the Union positions, while the red tablets mark Confederate positions. Another interest ing thing to know is that all of these tablets have been placed in such a manner that when you are facing them, you are facing the same direction which the troops were facing at that time and place. There fore, if anyone cares to follow up the movements of any particular organization, it can be done very easily. Every effort has been made to restore the battlefields to their original condition. Speaking of the shell pyramids, there are 14 of the square-base type which mark the headquarters sites of either an army corps or the field headquarters of the commanding general. There are 8 of the triangular-base pyramids which mark the exact Spot where each of the brigade commanders lost their lives. All Of these are located on the Chickamauga battlefield. On Missionary Ridge, a bronze cannon-ball monument has been substituted for a pyramid. This also marks the site where a brigade commander lost his life. One original house stands on the Chickamauga battlefield; also three replicas of the original. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
