Bridge Building Across Chickamauga Creek Under Fire
Civil War dispatch describes a trestle bridge near Chickamauga Creek built by a nearly toolless regiment after costly fighting. The narrative covers pursuit, pursuit casualties from Meade’s advance, and a grim Shelbyville jail incident with a raving maniac. It also notes Godey's 1864 opening issue and its publisher.
