We are gearing up towards the battle of Chickamauga, which is the last huge battle of 1863 but first we have another 4 battles on this episode. The second battle of Chattanooga on August 21st, 1863 is the opening battle of the Chickamauga Campaign as Major General Rosecrans attempts to take Chattanooga from the Rebels and General Braxton Bragg. Union Brigadier General John W. Davidson faces off against Confederate Brigadier General John S. Marmaduke at Bayou Meto on August 27th. At Devil's Backbone in Arkansas on September 1st, the Union fend off the Confederates to keep Fort Smith safe for the rest of the war. And finally, we end with a massacre, although some historians say it was just a battle. Union BG Alfred Sully attacks an Indian Village at Whitestone Hill and murders innocent women and children in the process.
