Military

First Battle of Lookout Mountain 1782

The Chickamaugas

At the time of the arrival of the first settler in what is now Hamilton County the entire county was occupied by the Cherokees, but so far as is now ascertainable there were but few if any of these old settlers, who were slain by the red man's tomahawk or spear.

The warlike spirit of the Cherokee, originally as fierce as that of any other Indian, had become to a great extent subdued by long contact and numerous disastrous conflicts with the superior skill of his white brother, who, though an intruder, was determined and destined to possess the soil.

Though in the opening years of the nineteenth century this part of the Tennessee Valley was singularly free from hostile encounters, there had been previously an expedition undertaken, which had for its objective point a locality already famous, and since made more famous, in the military annuals of the country.

This was the expedition of Cols. Evan Shelby and John Montgomery against the irrepressible Chickamauga's, whose town, Chickamauga, was nearly a mile in length and extended up and down Chickamauga Creek a few miles above its mouth.

This expedition, which, under the pilotage of a Mr. Hudson, came down the Tennessee, in 1779, entered the Chickamauga Creek, and, disembarking on its bank, captured an Indian, whom they compelled to guide them to the town.

The Chickamauga's were taken so completely by surprise that, making no resistance, they fled to the fastnesses of the hills and mountains, and were pursued.

The number of the Indians thus attacked was about 500. They were commanded by the chiefs, Dragging Canoe and Big Fool, and were equal in numbers to the expedition under Shelby and Montgomery.

Pursuit was made, a camp broken up on Laurel Creek, and Little Owl's Town and other towns taken and burned. The troops of Shelby and Montgomery were the first white men that had seen the rich lands of the Tennessee Valley, in what are now the counties of Hamilton, Rhea, Roane and Knox, and were the first to spread glowing accounts of their fertility and beauty; the consequence being that almost immediately a strong current of immigration was turned toward and into this fair and inviting region.

Subsequently to this expedition against the Chickamauga's, a battle was fought on Lookout Mountain between the Indians, commanded by the great chief Wynca on the one side, and Tennessee volunteers commanded by Gen. John Sevier, on the other.

This was the first battle of Lookout Mountain of which there is any record or tradition, and was fought in 1782, Gen. Sevier being, as usual, victorious, compelling & truce and a surrender of prisoners and slaves.

The second battle of Lookout Mountain was fought in 1788 by Gen. Joseph Martin, with Col. Robert Love commanding a regiment from Washington County, Col. Kennedy from Greene County and Col. Doherty from lower down. The forces under these officers were fired upon from every cranny and cliff and tree; three of their captains—Hardin, Fuller and Gibson—were killed, and Capt Thomas Gibson wounded.

This was six years before the famous Nickajack expedition.

History Of Tennessee - Nashville: The Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1887

The Battle of Lookout Mountain, Tennesse
Having been driven from the Field at Chickamauga, The Union Army took refuge in Chattanooga. Braxton Bragg's army quickly occupied the undefended heights south and east of the city and began limited siege operations. At the end of October Ulysses S. Grant assumed command in Chattanooga. Union reinforcements eventually secured tenuous supply lines then made preparations for an offensive. On the morning of November 24, the Confederate left, anchored on Lookout Mountain, came under attack. Three divisions commanded by Joseph Hooker crossed Lookout Creek at the base of the mountain and drove back Confederate pickets. Heavy skirmishing took place near Craven's Farm where the defenders, outnumbered four to one, slowly gave way, moving up the slope to another position. With reinforcements from the summit, Confederates under Carter Stevenson held Lookout Mountain until midnight, when they were ordered to join the rest of Bragg's army on Missionary Ridge. A map made in November of 1863 by the New York Herald's correspondent, Sylvanus Cadwallader, accompanied Hooker at Lookout Mountain and sketched this bird's-eye-view. Missionary Ridge and the "Rebel camps' sit on the horizon (east). The map shows details of the Jeremiah Fryar, Jr. It shows the Fryar house just above the railroad and to the east of the Chattanooga Road going over the end of the mountain. The map shows a log house where the Fryar slaves lived. It was across the road from the Fryar place and was above a branch of the road that led toward Light's Mill (now Reflection Riding). A barn and cleared land are between the railroad and creek. There are cornfields shown between the railroad and below the creek to the east of the road. The road stayed close to a bend in the creek, while paths are shown on either side of "Bald Hill," where the Fryar Cemetery is located. A rail fence was between one cornfield and the path at the foot of Bald Hill. The map notes that a bridge over lookout Creek at the Fryar farm had been destroyed as had been a railroad bridge nearby to the West. It shows that Rebel pickets were on one side of the creek at the Fryar farm and Union pickets just across the creek on the North side. The profile of Lookout Mountain, rising 1,100 feet above the Tennessee River, looms over the battlefield, which is drawn in perspective. The river appears to swing around the base of Lookout Mountain from the right, but in reality, it originates north of Moccasin Point, loops around the point, then flows north, away from Lookout Mountain. On either side of Lookout Creek, the Union and Confederate picket lines are indicated. The majority of Hooker's forces crossed near the destroyed bridge on the Chattanooga Road and drove Confederate pickets from their rifle pits and from the railroad embankment. The most severe fighting took place near Craven's Farm (the "White House" shown which was -- Jeremiah Fryar's house), farther up the slope. The map mistakenly places this White House too close to the railroad and on the wrong side of the road. A number of Confederate positions are shown, but no indication of troops appears in the contested areas above the railroad cut.

Revolutionary War Soldiers of Hamilton County

Hamilton County had no native soldiers of the Revolutionary War, as it took place some years before the county was settled. Many soldiers, however, settled in the county. Goodspeed says that many of the early traders among the Cherokee Indians were heroes of the Revolution. This list is compiled from men who applied for or drew a Revolutionary War Pension. Sequatchie County was a part of Hamilton County until 1857, Revolutionary soldiers who lived and died in Hamilton County but are buried in Sequatchie County are included in this list.

Military History of Chattanooga

(This inscription appears on an iron tablet in front of Federal building and is official, from the records of the United States War Department.) This city was first occupied by Confederate troops in the Spring of 1862 under Generals Floyd, Maxwell and Leadbetter. Union troops under General Mitchell shelled it June 7 and 8. Bragg's army occupied it in August preparing for the Kentucky campaign, again in the Fall on its return from Kentucky, and in the Summer of 1863 when retiring before Rosecrans from Middle Tennessee. AA'ilder shelled the city from Stringer's Ridge, August 21. Bragg evacuated it September 7 and 8, and a small Union force took possession. Rosecrans occupied it in force the second morning after the battle of Chickamauga, and thereafter it remained in Union conrol. Thomas succeeded Rosecrans, October 19. Grant took general command October 23. A short line of supplies to Bridgeport by Brown's Ferry was opened October 28, upon a plan devised by General Rosecrans. Hooker's forces ar- rived in Lookout Valley on that date and fought the battle of Wauhatchie. Sherman's troops crossed the Tennessee above the city during the night of November 25. On that day the Army of the Cumberland carried Orchard Knob. November 24 Hooker's column captured the north slope of Lookout Mountain. On November 25 Missionary Ridge, excepting Cleburne's position at Tunnell Hill and the intervening line to Walthall's stand north of DeLong's. was carried by Grant's armies, Bragg retreating to Dalton. November 25, 1863. This was a great Federal victory, Avhich raised the siege of Chattanooga and forced the Confederates out of Tennessee. Grant's army consisted of about 72,000 men and Bragg's 35,- 000. Federal loss about 753 killed, 4,722 wounded, 349 missing. Confederate loss about 361 killed, 2.180 wounded, 4,146 missing. The evolutions of the Federal army in the plain below were described by the Confederates as being as regular as dress parade. Their assault was impetuous, but for several hours it appeared as if the Confederates would hold their position. Sherman's attack upon the Confederate right met a repulse at the hands of the lion-hearted Cleburne. The assault was renewed with desperate energy, but again Cleburne held his own against fearful odds. About 4 p. m. the Confederate center was broken, and the entire line, ex- cept the right, gave way. The result was a disastrous rout of Bragg's army, which fell back along the line of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, stubbornly fighting the battles of Ringgold Gap, Resaca, Altoona Pass, Kennesaw Mountain, New Hope Church and then the battles and siege of Atlanta, winding up a campaign the brilliancy of which has never been excelled in ancient or modern times.

ANDREWS' RAIDERS' MONUMENT, National Cemetery. This scene in the Chattanooga National Cemetery recalls one of the most romantic and daring exploits of the war. which took place on the Western (S: Atlantic Railroad, the road between Atlanta and Chattanooga, so battled over later in Sherman's persistent advance and Johnston's stubborn re- treat in the famous Atlanta campaign. A party of twenty-two, James J. Andrews in command, nearly all from the 21st, 33d or 2d Ohio Infantry, all in citizen's garb and liable to be created as spies, boarded the northbound train at Marietta, April 12, 1862, with tickets for various points, professing to be refugees wishing to enter the Confederate army. At Big Shanty (now Kennesaw) while the passengers and train crew were mostly at breakfast, they seized and escaped with the locomotive "General" and three freight cars. The plan, skillfully conceived and bravely attempted, was to destroy bridges and cut off the Confederate army from supplies. Pursuit followed, first on foot, then by hand-car, then with locomotives, and in spite of cutting the wire, breaking and obstructing the track, and straining every nerve to distance the chase, the brave adventurers, their fuel running out and their pursuers close upon them, finally abandoned the engine between Ringgold and Graysville, Ga., and sought safety in flight on foot, but were all eventually captured The locomotive itself is kept on exhibition in the Union Depot at Chattanooga, with appropriate historical matter. The tender, filled with wood, shows that the "General" was an old-fashioned wood burner. On the side of the monument shown in the picture are the names of James J. Andrews and seven others, executed, and the curved row^ of seven uniform headstones, together with one to the right, not shown in the picture, are to these eight victims of the bloody law of war. On the end in sight are- the names of six exchanged. At the other end are the names of eight escaped, and on the farther side of the monument is the inscription: OHIO'S TRIBUTE TO THE ANDREWS' RAIDERS. 1S62.

American Civil War

The Siege of Chattanooga

Following the Battle of Chickamauga, General George H. Thomas remained in position at Rossville throughout the September 21, 1863, but it was evident that the Confederates could turn his right flank and cut him off from Chattanooga. He suggested to Rosecrans that the Union Army concentrate at Chattanooga. In anticipation of receiving an order to withdraw to the town, Thomas instructed his officers to prepare their commands for the movement. Rosecrans adopted the suggestion, and that evening Thomas withdrew the Union forces to Chattanooga. All wagons, ambulances, and surplus artillery had already departed for Chattanooga during the day. By morning of September 22, all Union troops were in position in the town.

The situation in which the men in blue found themselves in Chattanooga was not pleasant. The Tennessee River walled them in on the north, although a pontoon bridge and two ferries offered escape possibilities. Lookout Mountain blocked the way on the west, and Missionary Ridge to the east and south, now held by the Confederates, completed the circle.

Bragg issued orders for the pursuit of the Army of the Cumberland, then countermanded them. Instead, the Confederate troops began to take up siege positions around Chattanooga. In these positions, the Confederates dominated the Union lines. Braggs’ men controlled all the railroads leading into the town; Confederate batteries and sharpshooters commanded the Tennessee River, and river traffic ceased; they controlled the roads on the south side of the river and kept under fire the one road north of the river leading to Bridgeport, the nearest Union supply base. Only the road over Walden’s Ridge and down through Sequatchie Valley to Bridgeport was open to General Rosecrans.

As early as September 13, General in Chief Halleck ordered reinforcements sent to Rosecrans. His dispatches on September 13, 14, and 15 to Major General Hurlbut at Memphis and Grant and Sherman at Vicksburg directed the troop movements. These dispatches, however, were delayed for several days in route from Cairo to Memphis and, in the meantime, the Battle of Chickamauga was fought. Grant received the orders on the 22nd and immediately instructed four divisions under Sherman to march to Chattanooga.

One division of the Seventeenth Corps, already in transit from Vicksburg to Helena, Ark., was ordered to proceed on to Memphis. General Sherman quickly brought three divisions of his Fifteenth Army Corps from the vicinity of the Big Black River in Vicksburg, where they embarked as fast as water transportation could be provided. By October 3, all of the movement of 17,000 men was under way.

The route of travel was by boat to Memphis, then by railroad and overland marches to Chattanooga. From Memphis, the troops followed closely the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, which Sherman was ordered to repair as he advanced. By November 15, the troops were at Bridgeport, Ala., having traveled a distance of 675 miles.

When the War Department in Washington received word that the Army of Cumberland was besieged in Chattanooga, it considered the situation so critical that President Lincoln was called out of bed late at night to attend a council meeting. This meeting occurred on the night of September 23, and is described by Nicolay and Hay:

Immediately on receipt of Rosecrans’ dispatch, Mr. Stanton sent one of The president’s secretaries who was standing by to the Soldier’s home, Where the President was sleeping. A little startled by the unwonted summons --for this was “the first time” he said, Stanton had ever sent for Him, -- the President mounted his horse and rode in through the moon-Light to the War Department to preside over an improvised council to Consider the subject of reinforcing Rosecrans.

There were present General Halleck, Stanton, Seward and Chase of the Cabinet; P. H. Watson and James A. Hardie of the War Department, and General D. C. McCallum, Superintendent of Military Transportation. After a brief debate, it was resolved to detach the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps from the Army of the Potomac. General Hooker to be placed in Command of both . . .

The movement of the Eleventh and Twelfth Army Corps from the Army of the Potomac to Tennessee eclipsed all other such troop movements by rail up to that time. It represented a high degree of cooperation between the railroads and the government and was a singular triumph of skill and planning. It also shows the great importance the War Department attached to the Chattanooga campaign. The troops began to entrain at Manassas Junction and Bealeton Station, VA., on September 25, and 5 days later on September 30 the first trains arrived at Bridgeport, Ala. The route traveled was by way of Washington, D. C.; Baltimore, Md, Bellaire and Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Ind.; Louisville, Ky, Nashville, Tenn, and Bridgeport, Ala. Several major railroad lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio, Central Ohio, Louisville and Nashville and Nashville and Chattanooga were involved. Not all troops, however, made such good time as the first trains, and for the majority of the infantry the trip consumed about 9 days. The movement of the artillery, horses, mules, baggage, and impedimenta was somewhat slower, but by the middle of October, all were in the vicinity of Bridgeport ready to help break the siege.

These two corps under Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker, comprising 20,000 troops and more than 3,000 horses and mules, traveled 1,157 miles. Differences in the railroad gauges hampered the movement, but most of the changes in gauge occurred at river crossings, which had no bridges, and the troops had to detrain at these points anyway. Confederate cavalry raids, bent on destroying the railroad bridges and otherwise interfering with the reinforcing effort, imposed a more serious difficulty, but except for the delaying the latter part of the movement a few days, the raids were ineffective.

At the beginning of the siege, the Union Army had large supply trains in good condition and transporting supplies seemed feasible. But early in October, rain began to fall, and the roads became almost impassable. To make the situation more critical Bragg sent Wheeler to harass and destroy the Union supply trains as they moved over Walden’s Ridge on their trips to and from Bridgeport. Wheeler destroyed hundreds of wagons and animals and it was not long before the Union soldier received less and less food. Wagon horses and mules and artillery horses were on a starvation diet, and many died each day.

Command of the two hostile armies had undergone a considerable change during the siege period. Grant received orders to meet “an officer of the “War Department” at Louisville, Ky. He proceeded by rail to Indianapolis Ind., and just as his train left the depot there enroute to Louisville, it was stopped. A message informed Grant that Secretary of War Stanton was coming into the station and wished to see him. This was the “officer” from the War Department who gave Grant command of the newly organized Military Division of the Mississippi. Thomas replaced Rosecrans. McCook and Crittenden had previously been relieved of their commands and their corps consolidated into the Fourth Corps under command of Granger. Stanton accompanied Grant to Louisville and there the two spent a day reviewing the situation. In Bragg’s camp, Polk was relieved of his command, and Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee rejoined the army. Bragg’s army was reorganized into three corps commanded by Longstreet, Hardee, and Breckinridge. When Grant reached Chattanooga on October 23, he found a plan already drawn up to open a new supply line for the besieged army. This plan of necessity was conditioned upon the terrain and the configuration of the river between Bridgeport, the railhead, and base of supplies for the Union Army, and Chattanooga. (After the Tennessee River passes the city, it flows southward for some 2 miles until it strikes Lookout Mountain where, after a short westerly course, it curves northward. This elongated loop of the river is called Moccasin Bend.)

The plan called for 1,500 men on pontoons to float down the river from Chattanooga during the night of October 26-27 while another force-marched across Moccasin Point to support the landings of the river borne troops. Grant ordered the plan executed. The pontoon-borne troops quickly disembarked upon striking the west bank at Brown’s Ferry, drove off the Confederate pickets, and threw up breastworks. The troops marching across the neck of land came up to the east side of the ferry, joined this group, and constructed a pontoon bridge.

Hooker’s advance from Bridgeport coincided with this action. He marched by the road along Raccoon Mountain into Lookout Valley. There he met the advance post of a Confederate brigade and drove it back. Maj. Gen. O. O. Howard’s Eleventh Corps moved to within 2 miles of Brown’s Ferry, while Brig. Gen. John W. Geary of the Twelfth Corps remained at Wauhatchie to guard the road to Kelley’s Ferry.

The Confederates made a night attack against Geary, which the latter repulsed, but both sides lost heavily. After this action, the short line of communication with Bridgeport by way of Brown’s and Kelley’s Ferries was held by Hooker without further trouble.

With the successful seizure of Brown’s Ferry and construction of a pontoon bridge across the Tennessee River there, and Hooker’s equally successful advance from Bridgeport and seizure of the south side of the river at Raccoon Mountain and in Lookout Valley, the way was finally clear for the Union Army to reopen a short line of supply and communication between Chattanooga and Bridgeport, the rail end of it’s supply line. This “Cracker Line” ran by boat up the Tennessee River from Bridgeport to Kelley’s Ferry. Above Kelley’s Ferry the swift current made the stream unnavigable at certain points to boats then available. Accordingly, at Kelley’s Ferry, the “cracker line” left the river and crossed Raccoon Mountain by road to Brown’s Ferry. There it crossed the river on the pontoon bridge, thence across Moccasin Point, and finally across the river once more into Chattanooga.

Early in November, Bragg ordered Longstreet to march against Burnside in East Tennessee with Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaw’s and Maj. Gen. John B. Hood’s Divisions of Infantry. Col E. Porter Alexander’s and Maj. A. Leyden’s battalions of artillery, and five brigades of cavalry under Maj. Gen Joseph Wheeler—about 15,000 men in all. This movement caused great anxiety in Washington and the authorities urged Grant to act promptly to assist Burnside. Grant felt that the quickest way to aid him was to attack Bragg and force the latter to recall Longstreet. On November 7, Thomas received Grant’s order to attack Bragg’s right. Thomas replied that he was unable to move a single piece of artillery because of the poor condition of the horses and mules. They were not strong enough to pull artillery pieces. In these circumstances, Grant could only answer Washington dispatches, urge Sherman forward, and encourage Burnside to hold on.

SOUTHERN CLAIMS COMMISSION JAMES COUNTY, TENNESSEE This index lists James County residents who filed claims with the Southern Claims Commission from 1871 to 1873. They claimed their property had been taken by United States military personnel for use in the Civil War. The claim files include interesting detail about people and about the Civil War period in James County. Each claimant was required to describe his losses in detail, and to prove his loyalty to the Union. Witnesses gave testimony in support of his allegations. The paperwork in the files is often extensive. All of the Southern Claims Commission files are located at the National Archives, but the disallowed and barred claim files have been microfilmed and are also available at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Allowed claim files are available only by consulting the National Archives. This index is based on volume 55 of Record Group No. 56, General Records of the Department of the Treasury, at the National Archives. It is duplicated on National Archives microcopy M-87, reel 13. The indication as to whether the claim was allowed, disallowed, or barred is based on the book Southern Loyalists in the Civil War: The Southern Claims Commission by Gary B. Mills (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994)
