Product Description |
|
By the Autumn of 1863 the Confederacy was in dire straits. In a colossal gamble, Confederate President Jefferson Davis stripped forces from all the major Confederate armies to reinforce the Army of Tennessee in a last ditch attempt to crush the Union. On 19th September the Confederates attacked the Union army along Chickamauga creek south of Chattanooga. On the second day of bloody fighting the entire Union right collapsed and the army retreated headlong for Chattanooga, all except General George H. Thomas' Corps who fought on doggedly until nightfall delaying the confederate advance, saving the Union and earning his fame as the "Rock of Chickamauga". |

One is introduced to such pivotal figures as Nathan Bedford Forrest, James Longstreet, Braxton Bragg, Patrick Cleburne, George Thomas, and William Rosecrans. The contributions of these men to the battle, as well as those of lesser-known officers and enlisted men, are recounted in a even-handed but quick-paced and enjoyable manner. After digesting this 96 page book one cannot help but have a better understanding of The Battle of Chickamauga as well as its causes and effects. |
