Cursory sketch of the campaigns of General Bragg. By Major E. T. Sykes.
The army at Dalton.
The Army of Tennessee fell back and went into winter quarters at Dalton, Georgia, forty miles distant from Chattanooga, and where the Georgia State road connects with the East Tennessee railroad.
Extract from a letter of General Bragg to the writer, dated February 8th, 1873:
In our retreat from Missionary Ridge, the enemy could make but a feeble pursuit, for want of artillery horses (Grant's report). At the mountain gorge near Ringgold, I believed he could be successfully repulsed, and the army quickly withdrawn.
General Cleburn, one of the best and truest soldiers in our cause, was placed at that point in command of the rear guard.
Late at night, hours after all the army was at rest, my information being all in, I called for a reliable confidential staff officer, and gave him verbal directions to ride immediately to Cleburn, about three (3) miles in my rear, at this mountain g

Austin, Texas, January 2, rical Society.:
Sir,—In the last number of the Southern Historical Society papers I find a Cursory Sketch of General Bragg and his Campaigns, from the pen of Major Sykes, of Columbus, Miss.
His Battle of Chickamauga is certainly calculated to mislead the future historian, especially in regard to the events of the 21st, if the s y, 21st, you could hear the query among the soldiers [the privates], Why don't we follow our victory?
In view of the foregoing facts it is hard to understand Major Sykes when he says: On the morning of the 21st September, the enemy having the night previous commenced his retreat to Chattanooga, Bragg moved rapidly forward, prece

General Bragg and the Chickamauga Campaign—a reply to General Martin. By Captain W. M. Polk.
The recent publication of Major Sykes' papers on the army of Tennessee, and of the replies that have been called forth, furnishes an opportunity to settle some of the disputed matters appertaining to the campaigns and battles of that army.
There are a number about which there is much conflict of statement—too many, in fact, to be grouped in one enquiry.
I shall, therefore, as a commencement, select one of sufficient interest to call forth comment, and I hope discussion.
I will go backto the number of your journal published April and May, 1883.
In that issue is an article from General Will. T. Martin, of Miss., headed A Defence of General Bragg's Conduct at Chickamauga.
On page 202 he says: There are many living officers and men who know how little blame should have attached to him (General Bragg) for Hindman's palpable disobedience of orders in McLemore's Cove, and General Polk'
