Following the Battle of Stones River, the 21st O.V.I. remained in camp until June 1863, when it embarked on the Tullahoma Campaign. Marching and skirmishing through Tennessee and northern Georgia during the campaign, the regiment crossed over Lookout Mountain in late August and arrived in the vicinity of Chickamauga Creek on September 19. Fully engaged in the Battle of Chickamauga, the 21st O.V.I., under the command of Lt. Colonel Dwella M. Stoughton, deployed into line of battle and opened a brisk fire upon the enemy, which continued until night. The next morning, September 20, the regiment, then occupying a reserve position, witnessed the Confederate breakthrough. Lt. Colonel Stoughton immediately moved to the right and occupied the crest of a ridge, known as Snodgrass Hill, in an attempt to stem the Confederate onslaught.

The fighting wasn't over when the sun went down that day. I didn't get any pictures of us at Winfrey Field or the field itself.
 
Thanks @Buckeye Bill this is a great picture of the monument for the 125th Ohio. Harkers Brigade took on Kershaws South Carolinians and Humphreys Mississippians up there on Horseshoe Ridge so its my favorite on the Union side at Chickamauga!

You were walking towards the Snodgrass cabin when I captured this photo. We had a great time in Chattanooga, Ringgold and Fort Oglethorpe!
