| Summary | "Chattanooga and Chickamauga" by Henry V. Boynton is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The work comprises a collection of letters originally published in the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, vividly detailing the significant military campaigns and battles involving the Army of the Cumberland, particularly the events surrounding Chattanooga and the pivotal battle of Chickamauga. Through Boynton's letters, readers gain insight into the strategic maneuvers and heroic actions of the Union forces during this critical period of the American Civil War. The opening portion sets the stage by introducing General H. V. Boynton's perspective on the campaign for Chattanooga and the implications of the battle of Chickamauga. Boynton reflects on the strategic brilliance of General Rosecrans and the complexities of moving the Union army through challenging terrain while dealing with interference from Washington. He highlights the difficulties faced by the army, including the need for secrecy and the logistical challenges of supply lines, while also charting the maneuvers that successfully forced the Confederates to abandon their position. The initial letters establish a narrative that intertwines military tactics with a passionate acknowledgment of the sacrifices made by the soldiers involved.
