Rosecrans' eves were opened on September 12th, when he was confident that Bragg's army was concentrated about Lafay ette, an easv march from the captured city. Then he hurriedly brought his weary and scattered corps into the unknown recesses of a tangled forest to face a brave and prepared foe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Chickamauga Even Richmond was but an outpost until the success of the Union armies in the center of the Confederacy left the legions of Lee once expelled from Richmond literally nowhere else to go. The campaign of Chickamauga was directed against a city which was the very key to the interior of the Confederacy, the crossing point of its greatest lines of railroad from all directions, the citidal of Georgia and the whole interior South. So long as Chattanooga remained in Confederate hands the enemy's power was practically unbroken, the great slave empire untouched. General Loring, one of the most sagacious of all the officers that wore the gray, said to the writer of this article, near the close of the war and before he had heard of the surrender at Appomattox: "Our cause is probably lost, but your temporary victories up to the latter part of 1863 had little to do with it. Not a man in the Southern Confederacy felt that you had really accomplished anything until Chattanooga fell." "You do not mean to say, general, that Vicksburg and Gettysburg were nothing." "The loss of Vicksburg," he replied, "weakened our prestige, contracted our territory, and practically expelled us from the Mississippi River, but it left the body of our power unharmed. As to Gettysburg, that was an experiment; if we had won that battle the government at Washington would, perhaps, have tendered peace with a recognition of the Confederacy. Our loss of it, except that we could less easily spare the slaughter of veteran soldiers than you could, left us just where we were." "But in the latter part of 1863 some of your people lost hope?" I asked. "Not exactly that," said he, "but they experienced then for the first time a diminution of confidence as to the final result." "And may Task what it was that occurred then which occasioned this change of feeling?" "It was the fall of Chattanooga," he replied, "in consequence of the Chickamauga campaign, and the subsequent total defeat of General Bragg's efforts to recover it." "Why did you regard Chattanooga as of such importance?" I asked. "As long as we held it," he replied, "it was the closed doorway to the interior of our country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chickamauga Ohn basil turchin t'an V asile'z'itc/z T art/tininoj: the author of this narrative, was born January 30, 1822, in the Province of Don, Russia; after receiving a collegiate education, entered the cadet-school at St. Petersburg, gradua ting into the horse-artillery service, and when lieutenant entered the military academy for the general staff; graduating with high honors, was admitted into the staff-service of the Imperial Guards as sub-captain, and was promoted successively captain and colonel; made the campaigns with the Imperial Guards during the Hungarian war in 1848 - 9, and of the Crimean war of 1854-6. In this country the record of Gen. Turchin is one of the most remarkable. His regiment, the lgth Illinois Infantry, was acknowledged to be the best-drilled regiment in the Army of the Cumberland; the brigades he commanded always dis tinguished themselves conspicuously in those battles in which they were led by their intrepid commander. The capture of Huntsville, Ala., early in 1862; the last charge of Turchin's brigade at Chickamauga; the scaling of Missionary Ridge, at the extreme left of the storming line of the Army of the Cumberland, when nine guns were captured and the enemy driven north before help came from other brigades of the same division, are deeds worthy of a hero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chickamauga a Romance of the American Civil War The main body of this wing moves diagonally toward the front and left, while cavalry pushes directly south to conceal the movement and produce a false impression on the enemy. All day the infantry and artillery work their way over dirt roads, the men marching at will, smoking, chatting, laughing; the Irish regiments cracking jokes, the Germans singing; all with that esprit which pervades an army just starting, after a long period of idleness, on a new campaign. A lashing of artillery horses, a cursing of mules, words of command, bugle calls, picket firing, the occasional boom of a gun, mingle confusedly, and in a country used only to the peaceful lowing of cattle or the songs of birds. So stream those men of the right, guns, caissons, horses, mules, wagons, all day long till the sun goes down. Then a halt is called, followed by the smell of burning wood from myriads of camp fires, the odor of coffee, the sizzle of bacon; while along the front is heard the cracking of rifles on the picket line. At midnight the right is in bivouac; the center and left still slumber in long rows of tents on avenues bordered with evergreens, the accumulation of a long continued rest in one place. But this is not the midnight of headquarters. There, all is in motion. Before the house of the commanding general at Murfreesboro leaders of corps and divisions are mounting or dismounting, either having received or about to receive their dispositions. Staff officers are coming and going with verbal messages, while couriers are flying hither and thither with dispatches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Laney Book Prize from the Austin Civil War Round Table: “The post-battle coverage is simply unprecedented among prior Chickamauga studies.” —James A. Hessler, award-winning author of Sickles at Gettysburg This third and concluding volume of the magisterial Chickamauga Campaign trilogy, a comprehensive examination of one of the most important and complex military operations of the Civil War, examines the immediate aftermath of the battle with unprecedented clarity and detail. The narrative opens at dawn on Monday, September 21, 1863, with Union commander William S. Rosecrans in Chattanooga and most of the rest of his Federal army in Rossville, Georgia. Confederate commander Braxton Bragg has won the signal victory of his career, but has yet to fully grasp that fact or the fruits of his success. Unfortunately for the South, the three grueling days of combat broke down the Army of Tennessee and a vigorous pursuit was nearly impossible. In addition to carefully examining the decisions made by each army commander and the consequences, Powell sets forth the dreadful costs of the fighting in terms of the human suffering involved. Barren Victory concludes with the most detailed Chickamauga orders of battle (including unit strengths and losses) ever compiled, and a comprehensive bibliography more than a decade in the making.

Download or read book Bushwhacking on a Grand Scale written by William Lee White and published by Emerging Civil War. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle of Chickamauga brought an early fall to the Georgia countryside in 1863, where men fell like autumn leaves in some of the heaviest fighting of the war. The battlefield consisted of a nearly impenetrable, vine-choked forest around Chickamauga Creek. Unable to see beyond their immediate surroundings, officers found it impossible to exercise effective command, and the engagement deteriorated into what many participants later called "a soldier's battle." It was, explained Union General John Turchin, "Bushwhacking on a Grand Scale." The stakes were high: control of Chattanooga, "the Gateway City" to the Deep South. The two-day battle of Chickamauga was the only major victory of the war for the ill-starred Confederate Army of Tennessee, which managed to break through on the second day and drive the Union army off the field in a wild rout. The victory, however, left a legacy of dashed hopes for Braxton Bragg and his Confederate army. Ironically, Bragg won the costly victory but lost the city, while Union commander William Rosecrans lost the battle but somehow managed to hold the city which President Lincoln considered as important as the Confederate capital of Richmond. Despite its importance, however, Chickamauga has been largely overlooked and is rife with myths and misunderstandings. Author William Lee White has spent most of his life on the Chickamauga battlefield, taking thousands of visitors through the wooded landscape and telling the story of the bloodiest engagement in the Western Theater. Bushwhacking on a Grand Scale describes the tragic events of Chickamauga, but also includes many insights about often-neglected aspects of the fighting that White has gained from his many years studying the battle and exploring its scenic landscape. Bushwhacking on a Grand Scale can be enjoyed in the comfort of one's favorite armchair or as a battlefield guide. It is part of the new Emerging Civil War Series, which offers compelling, easy-to-read overviews of some of the Civil War's most important stories. The masterful storytelling is richly enhanced with more than one hundred photos, illustrations, and maps.

This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
