In this position we lay for twenty hours
when Col Post ascertained that the right of
our army which was just across the ridge
east of us had fallen back + that we
were four miles in advance of our other
lines + that there was a road open by
which the Rebs could cross + get between
us + Chattanooga - Learning this we made
a quiet + hasty march towards Chattanooga
for four miles where we were placed in
position again where we remained until
8 oclock A.M. being then only three miles
from the said town - all this time no
communication had been had with Gen
Davis sine the Capt returned Sunday night
- an attempt was now made to do so +
we ascertained the fact that we were
cut off from Chattanooga + that we
would have to fight our way through
we moved up the valley by Regt in
4 parallel collumns left in front
Soon the point of the mountain on
our right came in sight + just from
the other side of that the enemy began
