Grose (search for this): chapter 143
olonel Wilder doesn't claim that his brigade defeated Longstreet. His statement refers only to that portion of the corps which entered the field in his front. He thinks that not less than two thousand rebels were killed and wounded in this field. It was probably the most disastrous fire of the two days fight on either side. On Sunday, Colonel Edward A. King, of the Sixtyeighth Indiana, then commanding a brigade, was killed by a rebel sharp-shooter concealed in a tree. The shot struck him, in the forehead, killing him instantly. Colonel Grose, reported killed, was not hurt. In a skirmish of Wilder's brigade with Forrest, a few miles from Dalton. Georgia, three days before the battle, Forrest was so badly wounded that he was unable to take his command during the battle. General Joe Johnston accompanied Forrest's brigade, and narrowly escaped being captured. The same day Lee, Johnston, Bragg, and other rebel generals, were in Dalton in consultation.--Indianapolis Journal.

he most dispiriting accounts show. Our line was held, except at the right of the centre, till we chose to leave it, as Rosecrans would have done before the fight, if the rebels had let him. They fought to break him up before he could get back to tho Stevenson. The distance of the battle-field from Chattanooga has not been fully understood, and the supposition that Rosecrans was driven back twenty or thirty miles has added a gloomy shade even to the most cheering aspect of the fight; but the ilder was sent off up the Tennessee to guard fords and passes for Burnside's benefit, and took with him despatches from Rosecrans with full news of the situation. These despatches were safely delivered, as the courier taking them got back just as Wstate that by this time he is past all danger of being intercepted by the rebels, and has force enough to make good all Rosecrans has lost, and something over.

being less than twelve miles off, and the left, after falling back to Mission Ridge, being hardly more than half of it. On Monday, immediately after the return from the field, Wilder was sent off up the Tennessee to guard fords and passes for Burnside's benefit, and took with him despatches from Rosecrans with full news of the situation. These despatches were safely delivered, as the courier taking them got back just as Wilder started home. This assures the country that Burnside will not beBurnside will not be caught unprepared. When the courier reached him he was moving toward Chattanooga, at what point or with what strength it would probably be improper to state, but we may state that by this time he is past all danger of being intercepted by the rebels, and has force enough to make good all Rosecrans has lost, and something over. At Stevenson Wilder heard a rumor that Grierson's cavalry from the Mississippi were within ten miles, and that Sherman's whole corps was within two days march, coming u

rittenden's corps moved past him to strengthen Thomas on the extreme left, leaving him on the extreme right. Between his brigade and Thomas, in the centre, instead of two corps, as represented by the Herald writer, there were but two divisions, Sheridan's and Jeff C. Davis, of these corps. Here the line was necessarily very weak, and the rebels failing in the desperate attack upon Thomas, and in a fierce but not persistent dash upon the right, took the opportunity of some movement in the centrthe hills and hollows of Mission Ridge behind them, where the nature of the ground made it difficult to keep them together or rally them. This was the only real reverse of the day. It embraced but two divisions, as already stated, and of these, Sheridan and Davis, who, Wilder says, did all that human daring and coolness could, rallied a considerable number, and returned to the fight.

Crittenden (search for this): chapter 143
Colonel Wilder at Chickamauga. Colonel Wilder's position was such as to enable him to know not only the movements of the troops preceding the battle of Sunday, but to bring from the field the very last news that could be gathered there. In Saturday's fight, he was on the left or left centre. That night the greater portions of McCook's and Crittenden's corps moved past him to strengthen Thomas on the extreme left, leaving him on the extreme right. Between his brigade and Thomas, in the centre, instead of two corps, as represented by the Herald writer, there were but two divisions, Sheridan's and Jeff C. Davis, of these corps. Here the line was necessarily very weak, and the rebels failing in the desperate attack upon Thomas, and in a fierce but not persistent dash upon the right, took the opportunity of some movement in the centre to strike there. They massed a column six or eight deep against our thin line and broke through it, scattering the divisions more by main strength a

under fire,) it actually seemed a pity to kill men so. They fell in heaps, and I had it in my heart to order the firing to cease to end the awful sight. But the merciless seven-shooters and canister would not stop, and again the boasted flower of Lee's army was crushed into a disorderly mob, and driven off.
