The army of the Cumberland at Chattanooga. by Joseph S. Fullerton, Brevet Brig.-Gen., U. S. V., Assistant Adj.-Gen., 4TH Army Corps.
After it became apparent that Bragg would not assault Rosecrans at Chattanooga, it was thought that he might cross the river above, threaten our lines of communication with the rear, and thus repeat, on the north side, the manoeuvre of Roseerans.
Longstreet advised such a movement, but Bragg preferred to adopt the plan of starving us out.
On September 24th a brigade that had held the point of Lookout Mountain was withdrawn.
Bragg at once took possession, and sent Longstreet's corps over into Lookout Valley.
He also extended his pickets down the south bank of the river, nearly to Bridgeport, our base of supplies.
This cut us off from the river and the roads on its north and south banks, and left us but one open road to the rear.
Over this, for a time, we might haul supplies; but we were in a state of semi-siege.
