Battle of Chickamauga

The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 18 to September 20, 1863, marked the end of a  Union offensive in south-central Tennessee and northwestern  Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the  Western Theater of the American Civil War. The battle was fought between the Union Army of the Cumberland under  Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans and the  Confederate Army of Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg, and was named for the (now South) Chickamauga Creek, which flows into the Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6km) northeast of downtown  Chattanooga. Chickamauga was a local  Indian word meaning "Stagnant River" or, less accurately, "River of Death," usage that may have begun after the battle.
