Thank you James... just finished this first video and now I for the first time have a clearer understanding of the beginng of the battle... day 1... it really helped me as you ground home Bragg's plan to press the Union Army against the mountains, destroy them and recapture Chatanooga. Once again, I feel your explaination and video/map coverage does it for me.
Wilder's Brigade is one of the most unique units in the Army of the Cumberland. When doing research of my Great Grandfather who is listed in the 72nd Indiana, I found that this was a different Harry Hoover. My Harry Hoover was actually in the 49the Pennsylvania Infantry. They both settled in Crawfordsville, Indiana, thus the confusion. Also, many don't know that Lilly's Artillery was commanded by Eli Lilly, founder of what one of the largest Pharmaceutical in the world. Excellent video.
My G-G-Grandfather, Charles Francis Marion Morey, was a corporal in Company I, 98th Illinois Infantry. He was wounded slightly in his hand at Chickamauga, but it never completely healed. He lived until 1902 and is buried near Yale Illinois.
My 4th great grandfather was in the 98th Illinois. Tried to save his wounded brother in law here at chickamauga but was captured and most likely one of the unknowns at andersonville according to my research.
Well done James. Really showed how the terrain forced the confederates into that funnel across the bridge. Looking forward to additional episodes on the series .
Great video! I've never seen what the ground at Chickamauga looks like before. I've been very much interested in Civil War history for a long time. Very eye opening video. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent in showing the area of the battlefield, moving the camera around--unlike other CW videos I could mention. But no Forrest? And no mention of who Eli Lilly turned out to be?
Thanks! The terrain really helps me understand the battle. I focus more on Forest in the Jay’s Mill area (next episode). I know he did something with pharmaceuticals after the war but didn’t think to include that.
My Mom's relative was killed during that battle. His wife after the end of the war moved to Tennessee. She had to make a check mark on a paper since she could not write, promising not to own slaves. She had a small cabin builton piece of property that the family still owns with the money she made on selling her farm. He had fought for the confederate side.

Thanks as always Carson. I try to simplify things since that’s how I learn best.

I stood on the banks on the one side and was amazed by how high it was. Really great footage. Great job
