Orders have been sent out to all the commanders in my Wing to attack if they haven't already, I'm holding two brigades in addition to Cheatam's divisionin reserve.  Reports are coming in that our lead assault elements are seeing Union brigades abandoming their center.  I will certainly exploit this development if it is indeed favorable to our end, and not a yankee ploy.

$BattleInfo <FONT=EndFont,L,0,0,0>September 18, 1863
On the morning of September 18, 1863, Confederate Gen. Bushrod Johnson’s division, supported by Gen. Nathan Bedford Bragg’s Cavalry, crossed west Chickamauga Creek near Reed’s Bridge to attack the Union left flank.  Federal Col. Robert Minty, tasked with guarding the approach to Reed’s Bridge with only three cavalry regiments, a battalion of Fourth U.S. Cavalry, and a section of the Chicago Board of Trade battery, delayed the Confederate crossing.  At 7:30 p.m., Bragg began a skirmish with Minty a mile east of Reed’s Bridge, opening the Battle of Chickamauga with a fierce fight that continued throughout the afternoon.  As Johnson’s superior force advanced, Minty was pushed back toward Reed’s Bridge, where he formed a line to hold off the Confederate assailants.  Desperate for reinforcements, Minty called on Col. John T. Wilder, who sent over seven companies of the 72nd Indiana Mounted Infantry, the 123rd Illinois Mounted Infantry, and a section of Capt. Eli Lilly’s Battery while in the midst of his own struggle at Alexander’s Bridge.  Reinforcements, however, could not hold off Bragg’s cavalry.  In one quick onrush, Bragg drove the stubborn Federals over the bridge.  Col. John Fulton's Tennesseans pushed across the bridge behind them, still under fire from Minty's men.  As the Chicago Board of Trade battery raked the opposing Confederates with canister shot, Bragg’s cavalry forded the creek, and Minty was finally forced to retreat, ending the skirmish that began the Battle of Chickamauga. 
//
William Rosecrans followed up his successful Tullahoma Campaign with an offensive aimed at forcing the Confederates out of Chattanooga. The three army corps of the Army of the Cumberland split and set out for Chattanooga by separate routes. Clever deception convinced elements of Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee to abandon Chattanooga and, in early September, Rosecrans began to consolidate his scattered troops and head south in pursuit of Bragg's army.  Determined to reoccupy Chattanooga, Bragg marched his army north on September 17.  After skirmishing with Union cavalry and John T. Wilder's Lightning Brigade—mounted infantry armed with Spencer repeating rifles—Bragg opened the battle in earnest on September 19 by hammering the Union left.  Though the Federal line held, Bragg renewed his assault the following day.  In the rush to send troops to his embattled left, Rosecrans mistakenly believed he had a gap in his line.   The Union commander’s efforts to correct the imagined error created real breach, one that was exploited with deadly consequences by James Longstreet’s newly arrived corps.  Longstreet's attack created paralyzing confusion in the Union ranks, including Rosecrans himself, who was driven from the field with a third of his force.  George H. Thomas took over command and began consolidating forces on Horseshoe Ridge and Snodgrass Hill where the Federals repeatedly fought off the Rebels' determined assaults.  Darkness soon ended the contest and Thomas then led the remnant of the Army of the Cumberland men from the field.  The Union retired to Chattanooga while the Rebels occupied the surrounding heights.
