The secondlargest battle of the civil war, 130,000 men. Approximately 340,000 casualties Confederate Army of tennessee out of that.

I will give you a brief sketch of the first two days of the battle. September 18, 1863, largely a recovering force action. Thank you, derek. Youre defining that. There are a lot of parallels with reactions on july 1 at gettysburg. Brigades went well. Across Chickamauga Creek for the best part of a full day. They disrupt the confederate battle plan.
