"Senseless Exposure of Brave Men” - The Battle of Ringgold Gap

On the morning of November 27, 1863, Union forces under General Joseph Hooker clashed with the Confederate rear guard commanded by General Patrick Cleburne at Ringgold Gap in a small but fierce engagement. Following a string of Union victories around Chattanooga, the Battle of Ringgold Gap ended in a Confederate victory, prompting one Union officer to describe it as a “senseless exposure of brave men.”

To learn more about this battle, join a Park Ranger on November 27 for a special 90-minute driving and walking tour of the Ringgold Gap Battlefield. The tour begins at 2 pm at the Ingles Supermarket, located at 5044 Alabama Highway in Ringgold.
