Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Onfederate Survivors' Association: In Augusta, Georgia, Upon the Occasion of Its Fifteenth Annual Reunion on Memorial Day, April 26th, 1893At great cost was this Confederate triumph achieved. Of the brilliant opportunity for crushing in detail the Fed eral forces as, advancing from Tennessee in widely sepa rated columns they wildly manoeuvred from the l0th to the 17th of September, General Bragg failed to take advantage. In like manner he neglected to reap the legitimate fruits of this dearly-bought victory, contenting himself with seizing and occupying the heights encircling Chattanooga into which, as an entrenched camp, the enemy retreated.The conversion of the battlefield of Chickamauga into a national park, with suitable memorials, if accomplished in a spirit of generosity and broad patriotism, will constitute a lasting and an honorable tribute to the illustrious memories of time and place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
