Late on October 28, 1863, and early on October 29, 1863, Union and Confederate soldiers clashed near the small rail junction of Wauhatchie, Tennessee. Confederates, determined to slam the door shut on the roads leading to Brown's Ferry, launched an unsuccessful night attack.

Today, 160 years ago, US troops surprised Confederates at Brown's Ferry, opening a new supply line to Chattanooga!

You may have noticed our goats if you recently took the self-guided tour at Chickamauga Battlefield. Although it took time and lots of involvement, the park is clearing the forest naturally instead of using more invasive forestry equipment.
