Chickamauga

After Chickamauga, there was very general—and seemingly not causeless—discontent.

For a time he had to weaken it by sending Longstreet west to assist Bragg in fighting the battle of Chickamauga.

When he joined his bearded barbarians at Chickamauga, Colonel Burford smiled happily.

Chickamauga was a battle where officers and men were all and each alike—heroes of the noblest type.

Then it was that we learned that Chickamauga was, not a defeat, but what seemed at the time a great disaster to the Union Army.
