The Battle of Chickamauga was the third bloodiest of the American Civil War and the only major Confederate victory in the conflict's western theatre. In this first volume of an authoritative two-volume history of the Chickamauga campaign, William Glenn Robertson provides a detailed narrative of military operations in southeastern and eastern Tennessee as two armies prepared to meet along the "River of Death”.

William Glenn Robertson is the former director of the U.S Army Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
