H. PAYNE & COMPANY. ,iANO, McNally d. Co., Printers and Engravers, Chicago. In the early part of September, 1S63, General Bragg held Chattanooga. Rosccrans, anxious to gain this important position, and realizing the hopelessness of a direct attack, determined by outflanking him to compel his adversary to withdraw. He succeeded in crossing, with the main body of the Federal army, the Tennessee River some miles below the city. Bragg promptly moved south as far as Lafayette, Ga., and on the 19th and 20th of the mon^n the two armies fought the terrible Chickamauga battle. The exhausted Union army retired to Chattanooga, where they were closely invested by the Confederates. Soon after this General Grant assumed the command of the Federal forces, and, after having been heavily reinforced, on November 23d ordered a general attack on the enemy's lines. General Hooker carried Lookout Mountain, meeting with but slight resistance. The divisions under Thomas carried Mission Ridge, by a gallant charge, on November 25th. After the famous three days' battle, Bragg withdrew his army into (Georgia. Authorities differ somewhat as to the respective numerical strength of the two armies in the battle of Chickamauga. According to Col. Archer Anderson, the Federal force numbered 59,000, the Confederate about 55,000. Generals lioynton and Cist claim that the Confederates outnumbered their adversaries by several thousand. The Federal loss was more than 16,000, that of the Confederates between 17,000 and iS.oixj, on each side consid- erable more than 25 per cent of the whole force. In the battles about Chattanooga the Union losses were nearly 5,300; the Confederate loss is not known. There were many famous soldiers connected with the military move- ments about Chattanooga and Chickamauga in the fall of 1S63. The following is a partial list of Union officers; Grant, Rosecrans, Thomas, Sherman, Hooker, Sheridan, Wood, O. O. Howard, and Garfield, then an officer on Rosecrans' staff. Gen. W. H. Lytic, a poet of considerable reputation as well as a gallant soldier, was killed at Chickamauga. On the Confederate side were such men as Bragg, Longstreet, l>. II. Hill, I^ilU, N. B. Forrest, John B. Mood, Buckner, and others. There were two incidents of these battles that have become especially famous. The Inst was the gallant stand made by General Thomas, after the rout of the right wing of the Federal army at Chickamauga. For several hours he sttKid at bay against overwhelming numbers, and by his action saved the army from destruction. The second was Hooker's "Battle above the Clouds," since celebrated in song and story. Chattanooga and Tennessee River, from Point Lookout.
