As one visits the scene of the battle in Walker County and mingles among tombstones and graves, the emotions run high. Such a loss! As the advance of the Army of the Cumberland began to march, it was the desire of General Rosecrans, commanding the Army of the Cumberland, to confuse and mislead General Bragg, commander of the Confederate Army. He sent a portion of his army, cavalry, infantry, and artillery, across the Cumberland mountains into the valley of the Tennessee north of Chattanooga to threaten that city from the north, then led his main army across Tennessee at Bridgeport, to Caperton&#8217;s Ferry, Alabama, where he crossed the mountains into Lookout Valley. Then, swung his army to the south and west of Chattanooga, rendering the occupation of that city untenable by Bragg with his line of supplies. &#8221; I could plainly see the Confederate fort, and adjusting my field glass hoped to see the effect of his shots, but I was enveloped in smoke when he (Rosecrans) fired, and could see nothing. But we learned the effect of his scientific firing a few days afterward when we captured a copy of the Daily Chattanooga Rebel, printed on wallpaper, Henry Watterson, now the distinguished editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, publisher, that said the Yankee artillery at Harrison&#8217;s Landing at the first fire dismounted the brass gun in the Confederate fort and killed four men.&#8221;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abd1696 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"abd1696\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1375197 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1375197\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/chickamaugamap.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3153\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/chickamaugamap.png 400w, https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/chickamaugamap-190x300.png 190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2af367 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f2af367\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8221; On September 4th, 1863, my regiment was ordered to join Wilder, north of Chattanooga. &#8221; It immediately ascended to the top of Walden&#8217;s Ridge, which was a continuation of Lookout Mountain on the north side of the Tennessee River. &#8221; &#8230; from that elevation, I looked for hours with my field-glass into the deserted streets of Chattanooga and became convinced that Bragg had evacuated that Confederate stronghold.&#8221; The regiment was then ordered to take the advance into Chattanooga. On the morning of the 9th of September, the Union troops crossed the nose of the mountain on the Nashville road and found Confederate cavalry holding the road. When Wilder&#8217;s Brigade battery from Moccasin Point on the north side of Tennessee began throwing its shells onto the mountain, enfilading the Union&#8217;s line of skirmishers, they were compelled to fall back.<br><br>\n&#8221; The battle of Chickamauga was a useless battle, the broken and shattered Army of the Cumberland driven from the field and cooped up and nearly starved to death in Chattanooga, that (General) Rosecrans was in full possession of on September 9th, 1863.&#8221;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ba0924 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ba0924\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8221; My orders from General Rosecrans were to enter the city of Chattanooga, obtain all the information possible concerning the evacuation by Bragg, and return to him with my regiment. When I was ready to start back the road was filled with Crittenden&#8217;s corps of the Army of the Cumberland, which followed me into Chattanooga, and when just ready to return I was ordered by General Crittenden to go up the Tennessee River to Fire Island, ten miles, and enable Wilder with his brigade to cross.&#8221; But the Confederate cavalry was ahead until the regiment reached a famous grape plantation eight miles north of Chattanooga where Wilder&#8217;s Brigade was already crossing the river. They spent the night at Grayville, east of Chattanooga, and during the night received orders to join General Rosecrans at LaFayette. &#8221; &#8230;and moving before daylight on September 11th I struck the Confederate pickets about two miles north of Ringgold. Sending word back to Wilder I dismounted my regiment when the enemy mounted and moved out to charge my line, waiting until they were close upon me my repeating Spencer rifles halted their charge and turned it back. Then they formed in two lines to renew the charge when Wilder came up with a section of 10-pound rifled cannon and opened immediately. Instantly the artillery fire was answered, but not a shot came near us; firing again with our artillery, instantly came the response. We did not know it then, but Crittenden&#8217;s troops were approaching Ringgold from the west and we from the north, and it was Crittenden&#8217;s guns we heard, while Forrest retreated through Ringgold&#8217;s gap. Had Crittenden&#8217;s troops and Wilder&#8217;s Brigade been acting in concert, General Forrest and his cavalry would have been captured at Ringgold. Sending out a company on the LaFayette road, the enemy was found in strong force at the Chickamauga River, and my regiment marched to Rossville, reaching there after dark. Confident that Rosecrans was in Chattanooga, and not in LaFayette, I sent officers to Chattanooga before daylight on the 12th of September, but they did not return to me, and an hour after daylight I took the road to LaFayette, striking the enemy in strong force at Gordon&#8217;s Mill on the Chickamauga. I was without corn for my animals, and finding a cornfield I fed my horses and filled the nose-bags with corn.&#8221; &#8220;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55a50a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"55a50a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOn the morning of September 19, 1863, the Army of the Cumberland began its race for Chattanooga flanked by the army of General Bragg. The race continued all day long. Aiken&#8217;s regiment was ordered by General Rosecrans to take its position in a field southeast of Widow Glenn&#8217;s house. During that time they skirmished with the Confederate line and captured a prisoner west of the LaFayette road. &#8221; The prisoner was brought immediately to me. He was a Virginia boy, badly frightened at first, but he soon told me that he belonged to Longstreet&#8217;s corps from the Virginia Army, and detailed to me how he came by cars, where they disembarked, and how they marched to the battlefield. I took the prisoner, the first one captured from Longstreet&#8217;s corps to General Rosecrans at his then headquarters at Widow Glenn&#8217;s house, and told him that I had a prisoner from Longstreet&#8217;s corps, when Rosecrans flew into a passion, denounced the little boy as a liar, declared that Longstreet&#8217;s corps was not there. The little boy prisoner was so frightened that he would not speak a word. &#8220;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ee1c16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1ee1c16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8221; Daylight came; with it white flags in our front where the Confederates were burying their dead. An hour after daylight I discovered a heavy column of the enemy, in a column of companies, doubled on the center, slowly and silently creeping past my left flank toward the left flank of McCook&#8217;s corps. I repeatedly sent him information of the approach of that heavy column of the enemy, but he testily declared that there was no truth in it, and refused to send a skirmish line of his own, that he might easily have done, and found out for himself. When Longstreet&#8217;s corps sprang with a yell upon the left flank of McCook&#8217;s corps, the line in my front advanced, and I retired to join Wilder as ordered. McCook&#8217;s corps was wiped off the field without any attempt at real resistance and floated off from the battlefield like flecks of foam upon a river. His artillerymen cut the traces, and leaving the guns, rode away toward Chattanooga. The rout of McCook&#8217;s corps was complete. &#8220;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-528","county","type-county","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Walker - Georgia Pioneers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/georgiapioneers.com\/?county=walker\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Walker - Georgia Pioneers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Walker County Wills, Estates, Probate, Marriages, Church Records Walker County was created in 1833 by Murray County.
