What is Chickamauga 1863: The River of Death (Praeger Illustrated Military History) about?
By the Autumn of 1863 the Confederacy was in dire straits. In a colossal gamble, Confederate President Jefferson Davis stripped forces from the major Confederate armies to reinforce the Army of Tennessee in a last ditch attempt to crush the Union. On September 19, the Confederates attacked the Union army along Chickamauga Creek south of Chattanooga. On the second day of bloody fighting the entire Union right collapsed and the army retreated headlong for Chattanooga - all except General George H. Thomas' Corps. Fighting on doggedly until nightfall, they delayed the confederate advance, saving the Union cause and earning Thomas the title of Rock of Chickamauga.
