General Baird's division was on its ri;^lit and (leneral Wood's on its left. On the afternoon of Noveinl)er 1*3 it sni)ported General Wood's division in a movement on Orchard Knob, itself carrying- the low ridge to the right and rear of this knob. On the morning of the 25tli Barker's brigade pushed back the enemy's i)i('kets, and the division moved forward to the next ridge so as to ])rolong General Wood's line. At .3.15 p. m. the division took i)art in the storming of Missionary Eidge, moving against and capturing the enemy's ririe-])its in its front at the base of the Ridge, and, starting fiom that line, scaled the summit. The center of the divi- sion reached the crest very near General Bragg's headquarters. The division, after carrying the crest in its front, i)ressed on in pursuit, continuing this until dark, with sharj) skirmishing and one serious attack upon the enemy's rear guard.

This division occupied the left of theline of works about Chattanooga, its liglit restiu"' on Fort Wood and its left on the Tennessee Kiver above the city. On ISToveniber 23, supported on the right by Slieridan's divis- ion and on the left by tlie Elevf^ntli Corps, it formed the column of attack on Orchard Knob. It deployed in front of Fort Wood at 1.30 p. m., moved directly upon the knob, and after short but sharp fighting car- ried the position. It reversed tlie enemy's works and added new ones, and remained in this position until 3.15 p. m. ISTovember 25, when it moved to the assault of Missionary liidge witli Baird's division on its left and Sheridan's and Johnson's on its right, in the oider named. It carried the enemy's rifle-pits in its front at the foot of the ridge, which completed the movement covered by the orders given this part of the line. Tlie men, however, who first reached the rifle-pits kept on and began the ascent of the ridge, aiul carried it without a halt. The other divisions of the assaulting column to the right and left also went for- ward to the snmmit, which was carried at six points at nearly the same time, and in about an hour from the beginning of the movement. Fifteen hundred men of Ilazen's brigade of this division manned the boats which floated down to Brown's Ferry, and made the successful landing at tlnit jtoint at 5 a. m. of November 27, which resulted in reopening the Tennessee Eiver. The rest of the brigade, under Lieutenant-Colonel Bassett Langdon, First Ohio, co-ox)erated from the right bank of the river f>pi)osite the lauding point. FOURTEENTH ARMY CORPS. Maj.Geii. John M. Palmer. ESCORT. 1st Ohio Cavalry, Company L, Capt. John D. Barker. This corps, after the reorganization which took ])lace early in Octo- ber, was com])osed of the divisions of Brig. (len. E. W. Johnson (First), Brig. Gen. Jefferson C. Davis (Second), and l>rig. Gen. Absalom Baird (Third). It occu j)icd the fortifications of Chattanooga from Fort Negley to the Tennessee Biver below the city, its right being establislied upon tlie S(mth points of the spurs extending southerly from Cameron Hill. The First and Third divisions took part in the battle in front of Chatta- nooga, the Second was sent to prepare for and cover the crossing of General Sherman's army over the Tennessee, opposite the north point of Missionary liidge. Carlin's brigade, of Johnson's division, ascended Lookout Mountain, toward evening of the 24th, from the mouth of Chattanooga Creek, and rei^nforced the right of General Hooker's line under the palisades, near the Craven House. The First and Second brigades of this division formed the right of the four storming divis- ions of the Army of the Ckimberland against Missionary liidge. Baird's division supjtorted Slieridan in the movement on the Orchard Knob line of the enemy on the afternoon of November 23, and on the morning of the 25th it was sent to the vicinity of the Tunnel to support General Sher- man's attack at that point, but there being no room for it to operate it returned and formed north of Orchard Knob and on the left of General Wood's division of the Fourth Corps, and became the left of the line in the storming of Missionary Bidge. General Baird's instructions to his line before the advance began contemplated an advance to the sunuuit, as did the instructions given in the other divisions of the Fourteenth Corps (Johnson's), which formed the right of the assaulting line. Both 8 base of the ridge, tlie divisions of this corps carried the rifle-pits at the and without farther orders from the general in command pushed on to the summit. FERST DIVISION (FOURTEENTH CORPS).

It was concentrated at Caldwell's Crossing, four miles above Chattanooga. The work of bringing for- ward and launching the necessary boats was mainly performed by the Third Brigade (D. McCook's). About forty pieces of artillery were as- sembled to cover the crossing. The division crossed tlie river in the rear of General Sherman's army before noon of November 24. It remained uiuler General Sherman's orders throughout the battle of the 25tli,but, with the exception of one of its batteries (I, Second Illinois), was not put into action.

This division held Fort Negiey in the line of fortiticatioiis and iutieuclnncnts to the rijjht of it. It moved forward dnring the after- noon of the -3d November, foriiiiiio' between the Rossville and INIoore roads as a i)roteetion to (Jeneral Sheridan's riiiht in the movement toward Orchard Knob. It remained in this position until Wednesday morniiiii-, Nov. -oth, when, by a reconnoissance of Van Derveer's brigade, it developed the fact tliat the enemy had withdrawn from the plain sonth of Chattanooga. Al)out 11 o'clock tlic division was ordered t(»the assist- ance of (Jeiier;il Sherman, tlien engaged at Tunnel Hill. U])on reach- ing that point, four miles distant, the division was ordered to return and form on the left of (Jeneral Wood's division, which then rested on Orchard Knob, with its left a short distance noitli of that point. In this position the division became the left of the line formed for the movement against Missionary Ividge. The orders given this portion of the line before the movement began contemplated its going to the toj). When the rifle pits were carried at the base of the ridge Turchin's brigade at once pressed toward the summit. Orders were received by ' Detached at Browu'.s Ferry, Tenn. 11 General Baird at this jinictiire not to allow bis men to go beyond the ritle pits nor permit tliem to become engiiged. This was countermanded in a few moments and his- whole line advanced to the top. On reach- ing the summit the troops of tlie division, in a mass and without regard to organi/iition, turned to the left toward a column of tlie enemy- approaching from the north and after a sharp fight, lasting about twenty minutes, repulsed it. In the storming of the ridge Van Der- veer's brigade, which was the center ot the division, carried the point where the first observation tower, north of Bragg's lieadquarters, stands; Turchin's brigade charged up over the open slope next south of it, and Thelps' brigade went up through tlie deep ravine adjoining it on the north. Turcliin's brigade of this division had prominent part in the move- ment on Brown's Ferry which re-opened the Tennessee. CAVALEY.t Second Brigade {Second Division). Col.

At the time of the battle Long's brigade was brought from Woodville, Ala., Novem- ber 18. It crossed the Tennessee into Chattanooga November 24, and moving beyond the position occupied by General Sherman advanced thirteen miles toward Cleveland.

The next day Gen- eral Hooker was ordered by (leneral Eosecrans to cross the Tennessee at Bridgeport and co-operate in reopening the river to Chattanooga, but as the field trains of the corps had not arrived it was impossible to move. These arrived on the L'Oth. Hooker started at daylight of the 27th for AVauhatchie, reaching that point early the next alternoon, and Brown's Feiry two hours later. The command took part with troops from the Army of the Cumberland in the Brown's J^'erry movement for reopening the river. It defeated Ceneral Longstreet's forces in the battle of Wauhatchie the night of October 28, and secured control of Lookout Valley. General Slocum, with the First Division, Twelfth Corps, was left at Tullahonni to guard the railroad from Nashville to the Tennes- see liiver.

In the battle of Chattanooga it was tirst assigned as a reserve on the north side of the river, between Lookout Valley and the city. On the 22d of November it was crossed into the city and took position to the right of Fort Wood.
