Abstract

This chapter covers Braxton Bragg’s sojourn at Cherokee Springs, Georgia to recover his shattered health, and the events that transpired in the Army of Tennessee while he was recuperating. Those events included the friction resulting from the folding of Simon Buckner’s Department of East Tennessee into Bragg’s command; the arrival of a new division commander, Thomas Hindman; and the growing Federal presence around Bridgeport, Alabama. The chapter also describes soldier life and morale in the Army of Tennessee during this two-week period.
