November 27, 1863
---The Battle of Ringgold Gap,
Georgia. Three divisions of Union troops
try to force their way through the narrow pass south of Chattanooga to pursue
Bragg’s retreating troops, but are blocked by Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne’s division
of Confederates (the only Rebel division that did not flee in disorder at
Chattanooga). The Union troops are an
assembled group under command of Gen. Joseph Hooker. Confederate
Victory.
Losses: U.S.
509 C.S. 221
---The Battle of Mine
Run, Virginia. Day 1. As French’s III Corps
advances south of the Rapidan, Gen. Lee puts Ewell’s Second Corps into motion,
and Gen. Edward Johnson’s division collides with Prince’s division. Brig. Gen. Steuart’s Maryland brigade swings
into line and closes with the Yankees.
As the fighting escalates, French sends in Carr’s division. Late in the day, two Confederate brigades
attempt to break the Union line, but the attack is shattered. As darkness falls, Lee pulls back his troops
to prepared positions, entrenched.
