Siege of Knoxville, General Burnside, with the Army of the Ohio, occupied Knoxville, Sept. 3, 1863. The Confederate General Buckner, upon his advance, evacuated east Tennessee and joined Bragg at Chattanooga. Early in November, General Longstreet, with 16,000 men, advanced against Knoxville.

Longstreet advanced, laid siege to the town, and assaulted it twice (Nov. 18 and 29), but was repulsed.
