What reading level is General Thomas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The great objective point for both armies was Chattanooga. It was the purpose of Rosecrans to occupy it permanently, and that of Bragg to return to it after he should have defeated the Union army.
We have seen that, as early as the battle of Mill Springs, Thomas had hoped to capture it.
One year later Buell was marching upon it when he was stopped by Bragg at Perryville. The move- ment upon Chattanooga was again begun when Rosecrans succeeded Buell, and it had been again delayed by reason of th...e battle of Stone's River.
Bragg, as we have seen, had occupied it, and at first sight it seems strange that he should have evacu- ated the town at the approach of the Union army.
It will soon appear, however, that the alternative was forced upon him. He was not well provided with materials and provisions with which to stand a siege. His communications both north and south were endangered by the advance of Rosecrans ; and so he left the town temporarily, to give battle to Rosecrans, to defeat him, and to drive him back upon the route of his advance.
