		As part of the "Cracker Line Operation," a bridgehead at Brown's Ferry on the Tennessee River, opposite Chattanooga, had been established late in October 1863, and troops of Union commander John W. Geary's 2nd Division, 7th Corps, were stationed at Wauhatchie Station, a stop along the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad.
		Though Jenkins reported "the various troops were scarcely in position for the blow," he ordered an attack sometime after midnight, believing that Law's brigade was in position.
		The integrity of Jenkins' command was impugned as a result of the incident, however, for Longstreet advised War Department officials that the officers of his division seemed not to appreciate the vigor required in a night attack.

		During March 1862 Union and Confederate troops fought the key battle of the Civil War in the Far West, the battle of Glorieta Pass, in the Territory of New Mexico.
		As the battle opened, Chivington was pushing his men across a heavily wooded mesa south of the trail, unaware that the main columns had already met near Glorieta.
		Both sides felt they were victorious, the Confederates since they remained on the field of battle, and the Federals since they believed they had been unjustly kept from renewing the battle.
