The battle of Chickamauga had,
according to men who gave the sub
ject careful and painstaking study,
the highest percentage Of loss known
to wars, for two days fighting. The
armies threw themselves upon each
other with a fury that is probably not
exceeded in the history of wars. The
battle, beginning in earnest on Sat
urday, September 10, lasted until Sun
day evening about dusk, when Gen
George H. Thomas withdrew his
forces from Snodgrass hill and aban-
doned the field to the Confederates.
There was an intercession of the
fighting, Of course, Saturday night,
because Of darkness, but hostilities
were resumed early Sunday morning.
The two armies fought back and
forth over the field all of Sunday,
strewing the ground with the dead
and wounded and setting high water
mark for casualties. The loss In this
battle will never be known, but the
most careful estimates place the num-
Der of dead, wounded and missing at
about 35, 900, or about one-third Of
the number engaged. Some commands
lost as high as 10 per cent. Of their
men.
After this battle the federal forces
began strengthening their fortifca-
lions around Chattanooga. The Con-
federates moved nearer to the city
and also fortified their position.
throwing their lines in front of the
city from the river above to the river
below. The two armies occupied
practically the same positions for
two months. Hostilities were re-
sumed actively with a movement by
the federals, on November 23, against
Orchard Knob. General Grant had
reached Chattanooga a month earlier
and assumed command Of the army.
His plan Of campaign was to surprise
the Confederates at the north end of
Missionary Ridge by sending General
Sherman against that potision, and
carry the ridge. which was held by
the Confederates. to the railroad tun-
