That was where Union General George Thomas (who was from Virginia and whose family disowned him for staying loyal to the Union) got his nickname "The Rock of Chickamauga".

And, knowing that Braxton Bragg was the Confederate general, you can be sure he pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory.

It was Rosecrans that most probably pulled defeat from the jaws of victory. Bragg would win the battle. He than besieged the Army of the Cumberland in Chattanooga. It would be a couple of months later that Grant would drive him off the mountains South of Chattanooga.
