Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 8. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), General Hardee and the Military operations around Atlanta. (search)
in the long and deadly grapple of Sherman's and Johnston's armies from Dalton to Atlanta — at Savannah, and through the Carolinas — at Bentonville, leading a remnant of the Army of Tennessee in the last charge it ever made — always on duty; always at the post of honor and of danger; always equal to the trusts reposed in him, there is no chapter in the history of the fortunes or the misfortunes of the Western army which does not bear conspicuous witness to his honorable service. Even at Missionary Ridge, in command of the right, he not only held his own, and repulsed all assaults upon him, but charged the enemy in turn, and brought off prisoners and captured colors, as after nightfall, he withdrew, in perfect order, from the position which had covered the retreat of the army.

Under the circumstances, I was unwilling to hazard an advance movement with my shattered command, even aided by three regiments under General Pettus, who was himself pressed by the enemy. General Moore adds a report of the battle the next day on Missionary ridge, where he was not under my command, and goes out of his way to say that he did not see me during the engagement. I did not think it necessary for me to show myself to him. If he had desired to see me, he could have found me at all times during the engagement near the right of my line, which was on the top of the ridge, while the left was down the hill. If General Moore means to reflect upon the conduct of my brigade, I am glad to say there are other witnesses who bear different testim

Cleburne and his division at Missionary ridge and Ringgold gap. By Capt. Irving A. Brock, formerly A. A. General of Cleburne's Division. [Note.--I have been unable, after diligent search and in the battle of Chichamauga the Army of Tennessee, under General Bragg, occupied the line of Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain, confronting, at a distance of some two or three miles between the main lines, the army of General Grant, entrenched and encamped in and around Chattanooga. Missionary Ridge proper, or that portion of it here referred to, rises. abruptly to the height of from four tcess of embarkation when a dispatch was received to the effect that the pickets in front of Missionary Ridge had been driven in, and ordering Cleburne and his division to return with all speed.
