The battle, fought on 18-20 September 1860 claimed over 34,000 casualties and saw the Confederate Army of the Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg repulse an offensive by the Union Army of the Cumberland commanded by Major General Rosecrans.

He lost the use of an arm after being wounded at Gettysburg, and had a leg amputated as a result of the wounds he suffered at Chickamauga.
