were not in quite such bad shape as he supposed; still, there is no disguising the fact that at this juncture his army was badly crippled. Shortly after my division had rallied on the low hills already described, I discovered that the enemy, instead of attacking me in front, was wedging in between my division and the balance of the army; in short, endeavoring to cut me off from Chattanooga. This necessitated another retrograde movement, which brought me back to the southern face of Missionary Ridge, where I was joined by Carlin's brigade of Map: positions of Genl. Ph. Sheridan's division in the battle of Chickamauga. Davis's division.
