Book Synopsis Six Armies in Tennessee by : Steven E. Woodworth
Download or read book Six Armies in Tennessee written by Steven E. Woodworth and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1999-08-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Vicksburg fell to Union forces under General Grant in July 1863, the balance turned against the Confederacy in the trans-Appalachian theater. The Federal success along the river opened the way for advances into central and eastern Tennessee, which culminated in the battle of Chickamauga and then a struggle for the strategically important city of Chattanooga. Chickamauga, one of the bloodiest battles in a war noted for carnage, is usually counted as a Confederate victory, albeit a costly one. That battle - indeed the entire campaign - is marked by muddle and blunders occasionally relieved by strokes of brilliant generalship and high courage. The campaign ended significant Confederate presence in Tennessee. It also left the Union poised for advance upon Atlanta and the Confederacy on the brink of defeat in the western theater.
Book Synopsis Battle above the Clouds by : David Powell
Download or read book Battle above the Clouds written by David Powell and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1863, the Union Army of the Cumberland was besieged in Chattanooga, all but surrounded by familiar opponents: The Confederate Army of Tennessee. The Federals were surviving by the narrowest of margins, thanks only to a trickle of supplies painstakingly hauled over the sketchiest of mountain roads. Soon even those quarter-rations would not suffice. Disaster was in the offing. Yet those Confederates, once jubilant at having routed the Federals at Chickamauga and driven them back into the apparent trap of Chattanoogas trenches, found their own circumstances increasingly difficult to bear. In the immediate aftermath of their victory, the South rejoiced; the Confederacys own disasters of the previous summerVicksburg and Gettysburgwere seemingly reversed. Then came stalemate in front of those same trenches. The Confederates held the high ground, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, but they could not completely seal off Chattanooga from the north. The Union responded. Reinforcements were on the way. A new man arrived to take command: Ulysses S. Grant. Confederate General Braxton Bragg, unwilling to launch a frontal attack on Chattanoogas defenses, sought victory elsewhere, diverting troops to East Tennessee. Battle above the Clouds by David Powell recounts the first half of the campaign to lift the siege of Chattanooga, including the opening of the cracker line, the unusual night battle of Wauhatchie, and one of the most dramatic battles of the entire war: Lookout Mountain.
Book Synopsis River of Death--The Chickamauga Campaign by : William Glenn Robertson
Download or read book River of Death--The Chickamauga Campaign written by William Glenn Robertson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Chickamauga was the third bloodiest of the American Civil War and the only major Confederate victory in the conflict's western theater. It pitted Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee against William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland and resulted in more than 34,500 casualties. In this first volume of an authoritative two-volume history of the Chickamauga Campaign, William Glenn Robertson provides a richly detailed narrative of military operations in southeastern and eastern Tennessee as two armies prepared to meet along the "River of Death." Robertson tracks the two opposing armies from July 1863 through Bragg's strategic decision to abandon Chattanooga on September 9. Drawing on all relevant primary and secondary sources, Robertson devotes special attention to the personalities and thinking of the opposing generals and their staffs. He also sheds new light on the role of railroads on operations in these landlocked battlegrounds, as well as the intelligence gathered and used by both sides. Delving deep into the strategic machinations, maneuvers, and smaller clashes that led to the bloody events of September 19@–20, 1863, Robertson reveals that the road to Chickamauga was as consequential as the unfolding of the battle itself.

Book Synopsis All Hell Can’t Stop Them by : David Powell
Download or read book All Hell Can’t Stop Them written by David Powell and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many of the Federal soldiers watching the Stars and Stripes unfurl atop Lookout Mountain on the morning of November 25, 1863, it seemed that the battle to relieve Chattanooga was complete. The Union Army of the Cumberland was no longer trapped in the city, subsisting on short rations and awaiting rescue; instead, they were again on the attack. Ulysses S. Grant did not share their certainty. For Grant, the job he had been sent to accomplish was only half-finished. Braxton Bragg’s Confederate Army of Tennessee still held Missionary Ridge, with other Rebels under James Longstreet threatening more Federals in Knoxville, Tennessee. Grant’s greatest fear was that the Rebels would slip away before he could deliver the final blows necessary to crush Bragg completely. That blow landed on the afternoon of November 25. Each of Grant’s assembled forces—troops led by Union Generals William T. Sherman, George H. Thomas, and Joseph Hooker—all moved to the attack. Stubbornly, Bragg refused to retreat, and instead accepted battle. That decision would cost him dearly. But everything did not go Grant’s way. Despite what Grant’s many admirers would later insist was his most successful, most carefully planned battle, Grant’s strategy failed him—as did his most trusted commander, Sherman. Victory instead charged straight up the seemingly impregnable slopes of Missionary Ridge’s western face, as the men of the much-maligned Army of the Cumberland swarmed up and over Bragg’s defenses in an irresistible blue tide. Caught flat-footed by this impetuous charge, Grant could only watch nervously as the men started up . . . All Hell Can’t Stop Them: The Battles for Chattanooga—Missionary Ridge and Ringgold, November 24-27, 1863—sequel to Battle Above the Clouds—details the dramatic final actions of the battles for Chattanooga: Missionary Ridge and the final Confederate rearguard action at Ringgold, where Patrick Cleburne held Grant’s Federals at bay and saved the Army of Tennessee from further disaster.

Book Synopsis Gateway to the Confederacy by : Evan C. Jones
Download or read book Gateway to the Confederacy written by Evan C. Jones and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of ten new essays from some of our finest Civil War historians working today, Gateway to the Confederacy offers a reexamination of the campaigns fought to gain possession of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Each essay addresses how Americans have misconstrued the legacy of these struggles and why scholars feel it necessary to reconsider one of the most critical turning points of the American Civil War. The first academic analysis that delineates all three Civil War campaigns fought from 1862 to 1863 for control of Chattanooga -- the trans-portation hub of the Confederacy and gateway to the Deep South -- this book deals not only with military operations but also with the campaigns' origins and consequences. The essays also explore the far-reaching social and political implications of the battles and bring into sharp focus their impact on postwar literature and commemoration. Several chapters revise the traditional portraits of both famous and con-troversial figures including Ambrose Bierce and Nathan Bedford Forrest. Others investigate some of the more salient moments of these cam-paigns such as the circumstances that allowed for the Confederate breakthrough assault at Chickamauga. Gateway to the Confederacy reassesses these pivotal battles, long in need of reappraisal, and breaks new ground as each scholar re-shapes a particular aspect of this momentous part of the Civil War.

Book Synopsis Guide Book to Lookout Mountain by : Clarence W. Baker
Download or read book Guide Book to Lookout Mountain written by Clarence W. Baker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide Book to Lookout Mountain: And Brief Account of Battles Fought Near Chattanooga, Tennessee The village of Chattanooga, lying among the mountains of East Tennessee, has grown into a thriving and prosperous city - "The Pittsburgh of the South," as its enterprising citizens call it and fancy it will prove to be in the near future. It has passed through war, famine (during the siege of '63, when-Gen. Thomas' men tightened up their belts a hole each day, and mules lived, or died rather, upon a sparse diet of fence rails and wagon tongues) flood and fire, and still lives and flourishes as perhaps no other city in the South does - enterprise and vim will win. By the way, the Indian name of the city does not mean "Eagle's Nest," or "Hawk's Nest," as certain veracious newspaper correspondents would have it. Those who have given the subject attention say it was originally the name of a small Indian village, situated on the bank of a creek of the same name, near the base of Lookout Mountain. The word means, in the Cherokee dialect, "to draw a fish out of water," and hence the name was given to the village of Indian fishermen. It was then very appropriate, but, when given to the town built by white men lost its meaning - although it is unique and musical, as most Indian names are.

Book Synopsis This Grand Spectacle by : Steven E. Woodworth
Download or read book This Grand Spectacle written by Steven E. Woodworth and published by State House Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1863, Federal forces scored major victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, turning the tide of war in favor of the Union. President Lincoln and his advisors now focused attention on the small town of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The important railroad center offered a gateway to the Confederate heartland. But just as complete victory in the West appeared imminent, General Braxton Bragg's reinforced Rebel army struck back at Chickamauga, driving the Federal invaders into Chattanooga, where they were soon besieged. A desperate Lincoln now turned to the hero of Vicksburg, General U. S. Grant, who directed the relief of the beleaguered garrison and, with the help of reinforcements from Virginia and Mississippi, turned a possible disaster into a stunning victory--a victory that opened the door to the Deep South and sealed the Confederacy's doom. In this picturesque setting along the Tennessee River, as Federal troops scaled the heights of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, one Confederate general beheld a scene "grand and imposing in the extreme." Here Lincoln found the winning combination, the men who would lead his armies to ultimate victory--Grant, William T. Sherman, and Philip Sheridan. For the Confederates, who invested such hope and so many resources, the disaster at Chattanooga would be a dark chapter, as veteran troops broke and ran before the Federal onslaught. It was a body blow from which the Army of Tennessee, and indeed the Confederacy, would never recover.

Book Synopsis The Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga and the Organizations Engaged by : Henry Van Boynton
Download or read book The Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga and the Organizations Engaged written by Henry Van Boynton and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a hundred years ago, Civil War soldier, professor, and journalist Henry Boynton wrote a trio of works considered by historians to be some of the first authoritative sources on the Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga. Despite their obvious importance, these volumes have long since fallen out of print, relegated to the back shelves of academic libraries and historical societies. Fortunately, they have now regained their place among the essential works of Civil War literature. Timothy B. Smith has combined Boynton's three short books—The Battle of Chickamauga, Georgia; Battles about Chattanooga, Tennessee; and The Campaign for Chattanooga—into a single, compact volume. As a gifted writer and actual participant in these engagements—he commanded the Thirty-fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry—Boynton tells the story as he saw and understood it, offering his own commentary throughout the narrative. Ultimately, over the years, his take on the battles through his books and his work on the park itself became the de facto interpretation of the battles. Boynton's own narratives are supplemented in this new edition by the editor's introductory biography of the prolific Boynton, highlighting the author's dedication to preserving the important memories of the Civil War for future generations. In addition, purchasing this book will give readers access to Edward E. Betts's stunning maps, originally combined in the rare Atlas of the Battlefields of Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and Vicinity. These maps will be downloadable in an easy-to-use PDF format. The Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga and the Organizations Engaged represents a golden opportunity for Civil War scholars and enthusiasts alike to rediscover a lost historical treasure. Timothy B. Smith is the author of This Great Battlefield of Shiloh, The Untold Story of Shiloh, The Golden Age of Battlefield Preservation, and A Chickamauga Memorial, all available from the University of Tennessee Press. He teaches history at the University of Tennessee at Martin.
