Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chickamauga: Record of the Ohio Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park Commission
The division of General J. C. Breckinridge remained, for a time, at Glass' mill, on the east Side of the Chickamauga, while the divisions of Hindman and Cleburne remained between Glass' mill and Alexander's bridge. Later in the day, however, both Cle burne and Hindman crossed to the west Side and engaged in the battle. General Breckinridge, at Glass' mill, was confronted by General John Beatty's brigade of Negley's division, and a Sharp artillery fight, with some musketry, was carried on from an early hour for possession of the ford; at one time, Helm's Confederate brigade crossed to the west bank of the river, but was soon with drawn. Breckinridge was relieved by Wheeler's cavalry about P. M., and marched at once for the battle field, halting at in tervals as he passed in rear of the battle line. Crossing the Chickamauga at Alexander's bridge, he arrived at Jay's saw-mill on the extreme right of the Confederate line at 11 O'clock at night.
