Chattanooga and Chickamauga / Reprint of Gen. H. V. Boynton's letters to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, August, 1888.

The letters present a vivid, first-hand account of a Civil War campaign to seize a strategic river city and the ensuing battle in nearby forests. They combine detailed descriptions of terrain, troop movements, and logistics—bridges, mountain passes, supply lines—with narrative reconstructions of maneuvers and fighting. The author analyzes the strategy that forced the enemy to abandon strong positions, critiques higher command for delays and withheld reinforcements, and recounts the stubborn combat by both sides. Maps and corrections accompany the correspondence, which aims to clarify misconceptions about the campaign and its conduct.
