We met and had dinner together at the CWDG Muster 1 1/2 years ago at that Italian place in Hanover.
I went to the Div 1aa or FCS championship game in Chattanooga and stayed the next two nights. I went to Chickamauga Sat after Point Park and had Woodworth’s guide with me.
I got halfway though and went back ealry the next morning to finish the tour.
Here is the slideshow of pic’s

Two actually.

Looking forward to your book

yes, I have written some stuff on the battle. Looking for publication soon, I hope.:)

Chickamauga is an amazingly complex battle, IMO, with a number of unusual tactical twists (Wilder, etc.) that make it pretty hard to get a sense of.

Most battles break down into discrete phases (Like Gettysburg, for example) or into isolated fights that don’t impact each other tactically, though they obviously do at a more macro level – Meade at Fredericksburg, for example. At Chickamauga the fighting travels from north to south and then back north again, each day, so that at any given time, 2-3 firefights are raging in close proximity, often with direct impacts on each other. Think Devil’s Den-Wheatfield-Peach Orchard, writ large.

So yeah, it can be very tough to figure out. How much time did you spend there?

Frankly, I am afraid of the Blog factor – I have enough time sinks as it is. I am worried that my efforts would all go to writing and maintaining the Blog.

But I do like reading them…:)
