But hunger Is a sharpener of wit.
Far down the Tennessee, west of the
town, lay General Joseph Hooker's
Federal command. In front of Hooker

Browns Ferry. near Chattanooga. This
valley and Lookout mountain on its
southern side were occupied by Long
streets Confederate troops, two bril-

sharpshooters, whose line extended
across the eastern OF Chattanooga out

ing for the sharpshooters, to guard
them from sudden attack by mounted
Fsderals, the Confederates planted a
battery on the point of Lookout noun
tain, 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 OWL
side of the Tennessee, the only way to
get at them was to surprise them on
the river front. They were not sta
toned there to defend the river bank.
but to break up the hauling of Federal
supplies along the opposite side.
Thomas men were on half rations,
and even the corn fed to mules had to
be guarded to keep the starving sol

troughs. Thousands Of mules lay dead

troopers dashed at the road in vain.
The Yankees held on like death, for to
let go was to starve. Finally the Con-
federates posted a line of sharpshoot-
ers ten miles long on the south bank
to shoot the horses and drivers of the
wagons. This scheme worked well,
and the wagons had to travel a tortu-
Il mountain road, so difficult that it
became a serious question whether the
army could live and fight at Chata-
nooga.

The shortest possible wagon route

Bridgeport to Chattanooga, but 1t
