I had cousins and an uncle in the 39th Alabama that was part of Deas’s brigade Hindman’s division so I appreciate the interpretation of the fight that they were a part of
My Great Grandfather Jesse Turner was 1st Sergeant of Co. C Third Tennessee Infantry in this attack. Two of his cousin's, both brother's died in the attack. The 3rd Tennessee was in the front line of Bushrod Johnson's Division. His brother Ed and his brother in law Wiley were with Forrest on the far right. This was a very bloody battle.
@@ericcrawford3453 Yes. He was quite capable. But I think he was thought of mostly as a non professional brilliant raider by higher authority at that time. Actually he was much more than that. He detested Bragg for his pettiness and failures to follow up successes. Those relative's were in the 19th Tennessee Cavalry.
Used to do the Staff Rides there for the Signal Advanced Course at Ft Gordon. Longstreet's corps was a surprise move of 10,000 to the South. The wrecked rails even replaced with wood. But another 10,000 paroled troops from the West joined the Southern Army..A violation of their surrender and release oath from the North. So Rosecrans did indeed face an unexpected 20,000 soldiers. In that they held the hill and were able to withdraw. It was not the complete route the South had hoped for. The Southern Commander Bragg does not seem to have been comfortable with the parole violation because they could have been hung.
Bragg no so good in my opinion Forrest would have been better in command of that army but Davis was good friend of Bragg, hindsight 20/20. Enjoyed these guys know there stuff.
Love these videos!! Thank you for doing them!!
Thank you ABT team! Another fascinating explanation on the fighting at Chickamauga.

Had this not happened the door never would have opened for Grant to come. It's funny how history works.
Supposition: it’s probably better to use might than would.
