Chattanooga! ... where soldiers stole the battle from the generals. The final great battle of 1863, the one that took Bragg out of the field at last, and sent Grant on to Virginia in command of the Union Army. For the Federals it was a great victory over hunger, siege, and low morale: for the tired Confederates it was the end of a bad year in the West, cheered only momentarily by the brief glory of Chickamauga, Chattanooga opened the way for worse days yet to come, for the long retreat, and for Sherman.
