19. Jeremy Scott Uncommon Valor Oil on Canvas, 75th Indiana and
58th Alabama at Chickamauga
The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 18 to September 20,
1863, marked the end of a Union offensive in south-central Tennessee and
northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most
significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. The
battle was fought between the Union Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen.
William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under General Braxton
Bragg, and was named for the (now South) Chickamauga Creek, which flows into the
Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6km) northeast of downtown Chattanooga.
Chickamauga was a local Indian word meaning "Stagnant River" or, less
accurately, "River of Death," usage that may have begun after the battle.
Original oil on canvas by Jeremy Scott depicting the tragic battle between the
75th Indiana and the 58th Alabama at Chickamauga. Remarkable detail,
professionally framed. Signed JL Scott lower right.
