Text of Note

"During the Chickamauga Campaign, General David Stanley's two Union cavalry divisions battled Nathan Bedford Forrest's and Joseph Wheeler's cavalry corps in some of the most difficult terrain for mounted operations. The Federal troopers, commanded by George Crook and Edward McCook, guarded flanks of the advance on Chattanooga, secured the crossing of Tennessee River, then pushed into enemy territory"--
