A new article from @Pat Young brings a fresh, new perspective to the Battle of Chickamauga. As interesting and enjoyable as the previous articles Pat has authored.
Chickamauga was one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. It came after a lightning campaign by the Union army under General William Rosecrans pushed the Confederates out of much of Eastern Tennessee and captured Chattanooga. The Battle of Chickamauga was fought as Rosecrans moved south into Georgia and was struck by the Confederate Army of Tennessee commanded by Braxton Bragg. The Union Army had acquitted itself well in the first day of heavy fighting on September 19th, but as evening fell the men in German General August Willich’s Brigade knew that the victory they hoped for might be slipping away.1
