About This Book

A veteran delivers a first-person account of his unit's movements and engagements during the Chattanooga campaign, describing skirmishes, the chaos of battle at Chickamauga, night watches, narrow escapes, organized retreats, and rapid marches toward heavier fighting. The narrative combines vivid descriptions of battlefield carnage and disabled equipment with the physical and emotional strains endured by soldiers, and notes small-unit actions, shifting leadership, and moments of camaraderie. Tactical detail and personal reflection are interwoven to convey the campaign's pace, danger, and lingering impressions on those who fought.
