To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rosecrans ordered, and had a right to expect, that the several corps would close up to the left, provided the distance was not too great. There probably lay his fatal error; his army was covering too much front to be readily closed to the left. General Sheridan s heroic efforts in that direction proved this; and after all the service the cavalry had done in discover ing the enemy s position, their further service was considered of secondary importance. To guard the right flank was important, bu...t they were ready and anxious to do more, and were kept further to the right than they were actually needed. Campbell s discovery in the afternoon proved that, and had Colonel Camp bell with his brigade been ordered earlier to the assistance of McCook that general might have been spared the humiliation of so crushing a defeat. There was cavalry enough on the right without Campbell, and that good strong brigade of cavalry thrown into the fight at the prope* moment must have had a telling effect. let, after all, the prize which Kosecrans had in view- Chattanooga was ours; though at what terrible cost 16, 336 men, killed, wounded and missing, 50 pieces of artillery lost.
