When Vicksburg fell to Union forces under General Grant in July
1863, the balance turned against the Confederacy in the
trans-Appalachian theater. The Federal success along the river
opened the way for advances into central and eastern Tennessee,
which culminated in the bloody battle of Chickamauga and then a
struggle for Chattanooga. Chickamauga is usually counted as a
Confederate victory, albeit a costly one. That battle-indeed the
entire campaign-is marked by muddle and blunders occasionally
relieved by strokes of brilliant generalship and high courage. The
campaign ended significant Confederate presence in Tennessee and
left the Union poised to advance upon Atlanta and the Confederacy
on the brink of defeat in the western theater. Purchase the audio
edition.
