rm the ridge, bringing up the Fifteenth Indiana and Ninety-seventh Ohio, which had not yet been engaged, although suffering from the enemy's artillery. The result is a matter of history, as we gained the ridge, capturing artillery, prisoners, and small-arms; to what amount, however, I do not know, as we pushed on after the enemy as soon as I had re-formed the command .... Captain Tinney, with his usual gallantly, dashed to the line with the first troops, and with the aid of an orderly (George Dusenbury, Fifteenth Indiana), turned the loaded guns of the enemy on his retreating ranks. Report of Captain Benjamin F. Hegler, Fifteenth Indiana. Our captures amounted to prisoners not counted, representing many different regiments; several pieces of artillery, and some wagons. Report of Lieutenant-Colonel Elias Neff, Fortieth Indiana. .As the regiment reached the top of the ridge and swept forward, the right passed through, without stopping to take possession, the battery at Gene

first planted upon the yet smoking guns. Captain Smith, of my regiment, was placed in charge of the captured battery, which consisted of 5 guns, 3 caissons, and 17 horses. Report of Captain E. P. Bates, one Hundred and Twenty-Fifth Ohio. Perceiving that the ridge across which my regiment extended was commanded to the very crest by a battery in front, also by those to right and left, I directed the men to pass up the gorges on either side. About forty men, with Captain Parks and Lieutenant Stinger, passed to the left, the balance to the right, and boldly charged on, till, foremost with those of other regiments, they stood on the strongest point of the enemy's works, masters alike of his guns and position. ...... Captain Parks reports his skirmish-line to have charged upon and captured one gun, that otherwise would have been hauled off. Report of Colonel Allen Buckner, Seventy-Ninth Illinois. The right of the regiment rested on the left of the road, where it crossed the reb

Report of Colonel Jason Marsh, Seventy-Fourth Illinois. The first on the enemy's works, and almost simultaneously, were Lieutenant Clement, Company A, Captain Steguer, Company I, Captain Bacon, Company G, and Captain Leffingwell, with some of their men. The enemy was still in considerable force behind their works; but, for some unaccountable reason, they either fled or surrendered instantly upon the first few of our men reaching them — not even trying to defend their battery, which was immediately captured by Captain Steguer. Report of Lieutenant-Colonel Porter C. Olson, Thirty-Sixth Illinois. In connection with other regiments of this brigade, we assisted in capturing s

Sherman; the latter, by Colonels Laiboldt, Miller, Wood, Walworth, and Opdyke. The demibrigade was an awkward invention of Granger's; but at this time it was necto make. Wagner's brigade, which was next to Wood's division, was formed in double lines, and Harker's brigade took the same formation on Wagner's right. Colonel F. T. Sherman's brigade came on Harker's right, formed in a column of attack, with a front of three regiments, he having nine. My whole front was covered with a heavy le hill step by step, and believing we could take it, I immediately rode to Wagner's brigade and directed it to resume the attack. In the meantime Harker's and F. T. Sherman's troops were approaching the partial line of works midway of the ridge, and as I returned to the centre of their rear, they were being led by many stands of

esult were busy with the work of refitting and preparing for offensive operations as soon as General Sherman should reach us with his troops from West Tennessee. During this period of activity the enemy committed the serious fault of detaching Longstreet's corps-sending it to aid in the siege of Knoxville in East Tennessee-an error which has no justification whatever, unless it be based on the presumption that it was absolutely necessary that Longstreet should ultimately rejoin Lee's army in ViLongstreet should ultimately rejoin Lee's army in Virginia by way of Knoxville and Lynchburg, with a chance of picking up Burnside en route. Thus depleted, Bragg still held Missionary Ridge in strong force, but that part of his line which extended across the intervening valley to the northerly point of Lookout Mountain was much attenuated. By the 18th of November General Grant had issued instructions covering his intended operations. They contemplated that Sherman's column, which was arriving by the north bank of the Tennessee, should cross
