The battle of Chickamauga-letter from Captain W. N. Polk.
To the Editor of the Southern Historical Society Papers:
Sir,--Will you kindly give a place to the following account of the Chickamauga campaign.
It is an extract from a work shortly to be given to the public, The life of Leonidas Polk, and as such may possess some historical interest.
The occasion of my request is an address upon the Campaign and Battle of Chickamauga, made by Colonel Archer Anderson, in your city, and recent ed further resistance impossible.
Conclusion.
With this, Mr. Editor, we bring our extract to its close.
For our authorities we beg to refer to the reports of the two armies, army, corps, division, brigade and regimental; and also to certain papers on file in the War Records office, Washington.
The more personal parts of the sketch are from notes prepared by General Polk.
We trust the article may be read carefully, as we wish candid and sincere criticism.
Yours truly, W. N. Polk.
