In this chapter, the Army of the Cumberland’s four crossing sites on the Tennessee River continued to throb with frenetic activity as thousands of William Rosecrans’s troops and animals made their way across the river downstream from Chattanooga. Construction of a ramshackle trestle and pontoon bridge at Bridgeport, Alabama continued apace. Braxton Bragg did not learn of the first of the crossings for two days, and remained unsure of the location of the Federal main effort. Reinforcements continued to join the Army of Tennessee from Mississippi, and Simon Buckner’s command continued its halting journey to join the larger army. |
