Excerpt from Glimpses of Chickamauga: A Complete Guide to All Points of Interest on This Historic Battle-Field, a Brief, Yet Comprehensive Narrative of the Chickamauga Campaign and the Battles Around Chattanooga, With Maps and Illustrations From Original Drawings and Photograhps
The Chickamauga campaign, commanded by General Rosecrans was an aggressive movement and meant war and desolation. From twenty-three States of the Union determined men, one hundred thousand strong, met on those memorable days on this memorable field, in deadly strife. In many of the commands one-half of the men were killed or wounded. In the campaign of September, 1895, upon the same grounds will be assembled, perhaps, as large a number of men, many of whom were in command at the battle of Chickamauga. The brave and dashing Longstreet, with many of his comrades scarred by time and battle, will be upon the ground, and the royal old hero, General Rosecrans, with his staff of veteran aids, including the famous General Wilder and General Thomas Lawler, the honored Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, not with sword and bayonet, for those have been hammered into plowshares and pruning-hooks - our Nation desires war no more.
