The Battle of Chickamauga, fought between the Army of Tennessee and the Army of Cumberland, was one of the bloodiest and most significant battles of the Civil War. Less famous than Gettysburg, Shiloh or Vicksburg, it is no less significant. Chickamauga represented the last opportunity for the Confederacy to win the war. During the course of the campaign, Confederate commander Braxton Bragg had ample opportunity to wipe out the Army of the Cumberland under William Stark Rosecrans. However, Bragg missed every opportunity and engaged the Union forces in a pitched, costly, confused battle in the woodlands of Western Georgia.
The story of Chickamauga is one of inept blundering, wasteful bloodshed, and heroic gallantry that made a major impact on the outcome of the Civil War.
