In September 1863, Union Gen. William S. Rosecrans drives into
Georgia flanking Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg out of Chattanooga.
Bragg, heavily reinforced, turns on Rosecrans and nearly traps him
before he can fall back. The two great armies finally meet at
Chickamauga. Through woods and small clearings, a confused but
vicious battle rages as each army gropes and grapples at the other
trying to find the enemy's flanks. At nightfall, Rosecrans holds
his ground and continues to slide his army northward to
Chattanooga. The following morning, however, Bragg launches an
attack that catches Rosecrans in the midst of a clumsy readjustment
of his lines. Half the Union Army is crushed and sent streaming
back to Chattanooga. The other half, led by the redoubtable George
H. Thomas, stands firm, weathers furious day-long assaults, and
salvages honor and survival for the beaten Union Army. A brief,
fast-moving, colorful account of one of the biggest and bloodiest
battles of the Civil War by a widely published historian.
