The Daily Dispatch: October 3, 1863., [Electronic resource], Federal account of the battle of Chickamauga . (search)
Federal account of the battle of Chickamauga.
--The New York papers of the 30th, received yesterday through the courtesy of Hon. Robt. Ould, Commissioner of Exchange, contain detailed accounts of the battle of Chickamauga, or "Pigeon Mountain," as they call it. The fight of Saturday they regard as only the preliminary to the real battle which came off Sunday.
They claim on Sunday to have lost no ground and to have repulsed Longstreet and Buckner, though they admit that "no substantial advantage had been won, and a large portion of the army was badly shattered. " The correspondent continues Saturday:
While the struggle of Saturday ended in a drawn battle, that of Sunday resulted in a disastrous defeat.
The failure of the first day was partly due to the greater numerical strength of the enemy, and partly to the deficient formation of our line of battle.
That of the second is justly ascribed to improper tactics on the battle field, and above all to the absence of command.
Flag of Truce.
