The Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781793895943)

The Battle of Chickamauga was the greatest battle ever fought on Georgia soil. It could have been a tremendous victory for the Confederacy, if not for the actions of a Union Corps Commander named George Thomas. It might have been a victory for the North, if the northern commander hadn't made a critical error in judgment on the second day of the battle, which led to a devastating attack on the Union center, and led to the Union commander running away from the field of battle.The inevitable result of the unfinished nature of the Battle of Chickamauga were the battles for Chattanooga. However, in that conflict, Rosecrans was long gone, and the four best generals in the Union Army had taken over command of Union forces - Ulysses S. Grant, George Thomas, Philip Sheridan and William Tecumseh Sherman. When Bragg finally got around to attacking Chattanooga, it was these generals that he faced, not Rosecrans. And the result would be significantly different than at Chickamauga.
