About this book
Faces and voices encountered years after the Civil War bring the battlefield back into focus for James R. Carnahan. A former captain in the 86th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, he presented these recollections to fellow veterans in 1886. His account follows the approach to Chickamauga in September 1863, as confidence during the march gives way to anxious waiting near Crawfish Springs and Lee and Gordon's mills.
Carnahan describes urgent orders, infantry keeping pace with artillery, and the confusion of opposing lines becoming entangled in the woods. He also reflects on how each soldier remembers a battle through the limited view of his own duties.
