Excerpt from Chattanooga and Chickamauga: Reprint of Gen. H. V., Boynton's Letters to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, August, 1888 Just in proportion as the credit due is awarded to those who planned and executed the campaign will well-merited condemnation be meted out to those at Washington who in sisted upon forcing the movement without regard to proper and vital preparation, who withheld re-enforcements, and who, in spite of public and private warnings which it was criminal not to heed, made rebel concentrations against Rose crans possible from in front of Washington itself, and from Charleston, Mobile, and Mississippi. It will be the purpose of a few letters to go over some of the well-known ground of this campaign with a view of enforcing the ideas expressed in general terms above, and attempting to present a clear account of this most involved, and still seriously misunderstood battle. The strategy matchless in our war - which compelled Bragg to abandon Chattanooga, the life and death struggle for concentrating the Union army when Rosecrans, against the protests of Washington authorities that it could not be true, found his widely separated wrps confronted with re-enforcements from every part of the Confederacy and, lastly, the great battle in the Chickamauga forests for the possession of Chattanooga.
