Brown's Ferry: The Beginning of the End

Description

In the early morning hours of October 27, 1863, Union soldiers surprise unsuspecting Confederates in a ridge saddle, on the banks of the Tennessee River, known as Brown's Ferry. For the beleaguered Union army, bottle up in Chattanooga, taking this important ferry crossing could literally mean life and death. Also, if Union soldiers are successful, could this be the beginning of the end for the Confederate siege of Chattanooga?
