Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Glimpses of Chickamauga: A Complete Guide to All Points of Interest on This Historic Battle-Field, a Brief, Yet Comprehensive Narrative of the Chickamauga Campaign and the Battles Around Chattanooga, With Maps and Illustrations From Original Drawings and Photograhps
It is only the lack of analysis and a careful study of the battles around Chattanooga during the months of September and November, 1863, that has prevented the people from justly appreciating those terrific struggles where one-third of all the men engaged were killed or wounded. Now gran ite monuments mark those grounds where heroes fell, and two hundred iron tablets placed at various points on the field tell of the difierent commands and movements of troops. This historical and very interesting matter has been gleaned from the war records of Union and Confederate depart ments by General H. V. Boynton, a noted and gal lant Union 0°cer, who distinguished himself at the battle of Chickamauga. These gleanings were arranged and submitted to a large number of rep resentative ex-soldiers and o cers of both armies and all points of difierence concerning the battles agreed upon. The reading matter to be placed upon each tablet erected was then sent to the Sec retary of War, approved by him, and returned to General Boynton for execution. The author has in his possession a copy of all those proof sheets, which form the basis of this narrative.
