Fact 8: General William T. Sherman received faulty information that led him too far north of Missionary Ridge on November 24, the day he was supposed to attack the Confederate right.
The original plan of attack for the 24th was a coordinated attack on the left, right, and center of Bragg’s line. Hooker was to attack at Lookout Mountain, Sherman was to attack Missionary Ridge, and Thomas was to lend support in the center. However, faulty intelligence led Sherman and his Army of the Tennessee to Billy Goat Hill, a summit separate from Missionary Ridge. Because of this faulty information, the attack on the Confederate right became a coordinated effort between General Hooker, who attacked Missionary Ridge from the south at Rossville Gap, General Sherman, who attacked from the north at Tunnel Hill, and General Thomas who attacked the center of Bragg’s line that occurred on November 25th.
