I'm on vacation this next week and will be heading to a couple of Bragg's near-victories; Chattanooga and Chickamauga Military Park and Stones River Battlefield.
I would like to see the railroad cutting where Sherman’s corps got lost. One of Sherman’s few bad performances. The good news is Sheridan’s holding attack couldn’t be held.
My understanding is that Sheridan raised a cup of liquor to toast Mr. Bragg on his way up, and a chance bullet knocked it out of his hand. “That’s damned ungenerous!” and so he continued the attack.
