Geocache Description:


The Army of Tennessee was the principal Confederate army operating between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River during the American Civil War. It was formed in late 1862 and fought until the end of the war in 1865, participating in most of the significant battles in the Western Theater. It should not be confused with the important Union Army of the Tennessee, named after the Tennessee River.

In the summer of 1863, Rosecrans began an offensive, generally known as the Tullahoma Campaign, a name taken from the Confederate headquarters at the time. Union forces gradually forced Bragg to fall back into northern Georgia, abandoning the important railroad hub of Chattanooga. However, reinforced by Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's First Corps from the Army of Northern Virginia, the Army of Tennessee was able to inflict a significant defeat on Rosecrans at Chickamauga in September 1863.
July 4, 1863
Here and extending 2 miles S.W., occurred the last battle of the Middle Tennessee Campaign. Protecting Bragg's withdrawal, Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, with Texas Rangers and the 4th Tenn. Cav., repulsed an attack by the 5th and 6th Ky. Cav., under Col. Lewis Watkins screening advance of Rosecrans' Union forces.
