Ma'ams / Sirs - found a bunch of the papers on-line about the Battle of Chickamauga. Since we don't have a Chickamauga sub-forum, I figured I'd park them here. A much studied event by military members for advanced degrees...
To start off with...
Title; Staff ride handbook for the Battle of Chickamauga, 18-20 September 1863.
Author; Robertson, William Glenn
Abstract; Visiting Civil War battlefields offers unique insights into military operations, leadership, and men in battle. Fought in the wooded terrain of northwest Georgia in 1863, the battle began with a meeting engagement on 19 September that culminated on 20 September in attempts by the North to create a coordinated defense and by the South to generate a breakthrough. This Staff Ride handbook is designed to place students on the actual terrain of the battle, evoke the conditions experienced by the participants at the time, and provide vignettes and discussion topics to increase their understanding of the battle. Through this process, students will gain an enhanced understanding of Chickamauga. Realizing that in-depth prior study may not always be possible, this handbook is written to be of value to both novices and more serious students of the battle.
