William H. Lytle, one of the most famous casualties of Chickamauga. Most
of the western side of the gap is part of the military park |

Present day site of McAfee
Church, located near Lake Winnepesoka in Fort Oglethorpe, GA. A division
of Federal infantrymen under Gen. James Steedman moved eastward along
Rossville-Ringgold Road with orders to take possession of the eighty foot
long wooden bridge over Chickamauga Creek at Red House Ford. After
establishing HQ at McAfee Church, Steedman ordered one of his brigades to
continue eastward to Red House Ford. When Steedman's men reached the
vicinity of Spring Creek they encountered Confederate cavalrymen, the
fighting continued after dusk. Steedman returned his division and camped
around McAfee Church until the afternoon of 20th Sept., when it marched
toward sounds of battle raging to the south. Shortly after Steedmans
departure Federal cavalrymen arrived at McAfee Church with orders to
maintain Federal positions along Rossville-Ringgold Road. The Federal
cavalry commander pushed toward Red House Ford where they encountered
Confederate horsemen. The Federals drove off the Confederates and seized
the ford. After Chickamauga, much of the Army of Tennessee (CSA) camped
around the area of Redhouse Ford. General Braxton Bragg established a
temporary headquarters there on Sept. 22, 1863 |
