In the Matter of the Location on Mission Ridge of General Samuel Beatty's Brigade Markers : Before the Commissioners of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park Commission. [ In the Matter of the Location Where Beatty's Brigade of Wood's Division of 4th Army Corps Reached the Crest of Missionary Ridge on November 25, 1863 : summary and recapitulation : reply : before the Commissioners of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park ]
unknown, probably Indiana: unknown, probably by the Committee, [ approx 1911 ]. First edition. Pamphlet staplebound. Thin octavo (smaller than standard). Slight wear to edges and corners of covers. Front and back covers has some rubbing, scuffing, and slight staining. Intereiors very good. Staples somewhat rusty but firm. 60 pages. This work is a response from the veterans of these 2 Indiana Regiments of Beatty's Brigade ( 3rd Brigade, 3rd Division, 4th Army Corps, Department of Cumberland ] to the Parks Commission, who were considering a change of markers on the battlefield due to a Nov. 1895 letter from General Turchin and his brigade challening the veracity of some of the marker locations. Howe and van Vorhis offer various arguments and soures to reject Tuchin's argument for a change.
A good bit of history that shows the intense feelings of battlefield marker locations, and a bit of the politics involved. Quite uncommon. Good. Item #22027
