"Confederate Military History" is a 12-volume series of books written and/or edited by former Confederate general Clement A. Evans that deals with specific topics related to the military personalities, places, battles, and campaigns in various Southern United States, including those of the Confederacy.

This account is of the Chickamauga campaign, which culminated with the Battle of Chickamauga and the siege of Chattanooga.

Thomas, forever known as the "Rock of Chickamauga," and they made a defensive stand that allowed the Union army to regroup and retreat in an orderly fashion back to Chattanooga.
