Braxton Bragg had been unable to attack the Union left at Lee & Gordon’s Mills on September 18 as he had planned. But, having only gotten at dark on the 18th to where he wanted to have been at mid-day that day Bragg on the 19th figured he could simply resume the movement of the day before. This mile and a half round trip hike will examine Bragg’s massing on the morning of September 19 for the attack on the Union left.
