The Chickamauga Crossed: Reed’s Bridge - Hike with Jim Ogden

  • Meet at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center 3370 Lafayette Road Fort Oglethorpe, GA, 30742 United States (map)

To attack Rosecrans’ Army of the Cumberland, Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee had to cross West Chickamauga Creek. Reed’s Bridge became one of the key potential crossing sites and one of Bragg’s columns will cross there, more than half a day behind schedule. This part car caravan, part mile and a half hike, will, on some of the only recently preserved ground, examine the fight for Reed’s Bridge as the Confederates only began to cross on September 18, 1863.
