Attack on the S Vi :4Ss4
o.'', e.; ;'.s'. ''Cracker Line
October 1928.
1865

GCopyright, 1903, by G. L. Kilmer.1
WITS an old saying that IAN army
travels on its belly" In other
words, nature insists upon the
motto for soldiers, mo bread, no
fight" Putting the word cracker" for
bread and road for line, the famous
cracker line at Chattanooga was ROAD
for bringing bread to the soldiers in the
trenches. At the close of October, 1862
the Federal Army of the Cumberland,
transferred from the command OF Rose
Grams to that of Pap" Thomas, us
savior at Chickamauga, was preparing
to fight for its existence at Chatta-
nooga.
The Federals held Chattanooga, as
the saying is, but owing to the lay OF
the land Bragg's Confederate army on
the outside held the Federals. They
couldn't get out without running the
gantlet of Confederate batteries and
muskets: they couldn't stay without
eating. Chattanooga lies in a bend OF
the Tennessee river, shut in on the
north. where the Federals approached
it by rugged mountain barriers. Inc
narrow valley of the river and the
tributary Lookout valley opening to the
west gave the only means OF ingress
possible to the beleaguered army. Inc
Confederates held the west and south
banks Of the river, including LOOKOUT
valley, and the only road available 1or
Thomas bread train was close 10 the
river on the north side. General Joe
Wheeler's raiding troopers dashed at
.he road in vain. The Yankees held on
like death, for to let go was to starVe.
Finally the Confederates posted a line
of sharpshooters ten miles long on the
south bank to shoot the horses ana
drivers Of the bread wagons. Ihls
scheme worked we'll, and the wagons
had to travel a tortuous mountain ROAD
so difficult that 1t became a serious
question whether the army could i've
and fight at Chattanooga.
But there were schemers In the yam
kee camp, and hunger Is sharpener or
wit. Far down the Tennessee, west OF
the town, lay Hooker's Federal corps
In front Of Hooker, Lookout valley
stretched away to Browns Ferry, near
Chattanooga. This valley and Lookout
mountain on its southern side were &C.
cupied by Longstreet's Confederate
troops two brigades placed there as
support to the sharpshooters, whose
line extended across the eastern or
Chattanooga outlet Of the valley. AS
further backing for the sharpshooters
to guard them from sudden attack by
mounted Federals the Confederates
planted battery on the eastern point

of Lookout mountain, where the guns
had range on the town as well as a
long stretch of the coveted river road.
AS the troublesome sharpshoOters
were secure from attack on their own
side Of the Tennessee the only way to
get at them was to surprise them on
the river front. And something had to
be done quickly. The men were on half
rations. and even the corn fed to mules
had to be guarded to keep the starving
soldiers from stealing it out Of the
troughs Thousands of mules lay dead
along the old cracker line, victims Of
hard work and the enemy's dead shots.
\ new cracker line must be opened.
The credit of it has been given to the
late General w. F. Smith (Old Baldy).
The scheme was to drive out the sharp
shooters and thousand Of LongStreet's
Confederates at Browns Ferry and
clear the way for Hooker to march in
from the west down Lookout valley.
This would open a short road to crack
er headquarters at Bridgeport, where
Hooker lay. 1t was necessary to sur
prise the sharpShOoters and the Con-
federate force at Browns Ferry by a
master stroke. and in the early morn
ing hours OF Oct. 81 1.4OO picked men
under lead of General HaZen started

Rome and Graphite,

Graphite is stated to be an excellent
preventative for manila rope. One
rope manufacturer treats the inner
yarns of each strand as well as the
core in a bath of lubricant, the i'll
gradients of which are graphite and
oil. This lubricant thoroughly per-
meates all the fiber, thus overcoming
internal wear, while sufficient comes
to the surface, and the lubricant does
not injure the rope.-London Engineer.
