R. R. runs, and made it his sec¬
ondary base of supplies. After
the fall of Atlanta, General Hood
ordered General French, with his
division, against Allatoona, where
General Sherman had stored 2,
700,000 rations of bread. Gen¬
eral Sherman, learning of this
movement, ordered Gen. John M.
Corse, who was at Rome, to has¬
ten to Allatoona and to hold the
fort. General Corse brought with
him 1,054 men to re-inforce Col.
Tourtellotte’g garrison of 890 men.
Gen. French with about 2,900
men, assaulted Gen. Corse and
Col. Tourtellote were wounded.”
On we went toward Chattanoo
ga at a speed of forty miles an
hour, and passed many beautiful
valleys and scenery and many
beautiful towns along the road,
crossing large rivers and come to
Resaca. It was here another bat¬
tle was fought.
“A vigorous Federal assault by
Baird’s and Johnson’s divisions
against Hindman’s division was
repulsed- There was heavy fight¬
ing along the line all day. Late
in the afternoon there was a des¬
perate struggle north of the town,
between Hood’s and Hooker’s
corps, without decisive results.
Fighting was directly across
the track of the Western & Atlan¬
tic R. R. Hooker’s loss was 1,
646. Hood’s was considerably
less. Ascertaining that a heavy
force of Federals had crossed the
Oostanaula river at Tanner’s Fer¬
ry, Johnston evacuated Resaca.”
Next we came to Ringgold,
where another battle was fought.
“A desperate fight between
Hooker’s corps of Grant’s army
and Cleburne’s division of Con¬
federates, who were posted in the
ravine through which the Western
& Atlantic R. R. runs, south of
Besides a very hot
fire of musketry and artillery, the
Confederates rolled huge stones
down the hillsides among the ad¬
vancing assailants, causing great
confusion. Hooker was repulsed
and pursuit of Bragg’s army by
the Federals was checked.
“Considering the disastrous de¬
feat of the Confederate army two
days before at Missionary Ridge
and the demoralization naturally
to be expected therefrom, this
was one of the gamest fights of
the entire war. Pat Cleburne
was one of the most adroit com
manders and pluckiest tighter a
rnong Confederates generals.”
Then we passed Tunnel Hill. It
was here we passed under ground
for some distance. You have
heard of the dark regions below.
If it is darker than going though
a tunnel, it is worse than gross
darkness. Then we come to
Chickamauga and to Missionary
Ridge. It was here the Federals
gained a great victory.
Grant’s army consisted of 65,
000 men and Bragg’s 80,000.
Federal loss, 5,286 killed and
wounded; 83 missing.
Confederate loss, 40 cannons,
3,100 killed and wounded; 6,000
prisoners.
This was a great Federal victo¬
ry, which raised the siege of Chat¬
tanooga and forced the Confeder¬
ates out of Tennessee.
The evolutions of the Federal
army in this battle were described
by the confederates as being as
regular as di-ess parade. Their
assault was impetuous, but for
several hours it appeared the Con¬
federates would hold their posi
tion. Sherman’s attack upon
the Confederate right met a re¬
pulse at the hands of Cleburne’s
division. The assault was re
newed with desperale energy, but
again Cleburne held his own a
gainst fearful odds. About 4 p.
m. the Confederate centre was
broken. The entire line except
the right gave way. The result
was a disastrous rout of Bragg’s
army.
