The Battle of Ringgold Gap

11 am – Holding the Gap: The US Army’s Pursuit and the Engagement at Ringgold
Location: Ireland’s New York Brigade Monument, at the end of Depot Street, Ringgold, GA 30736

Twenty-two days after Battle of Ringgold Gap (November 27, 1863), Sergeant Ambrose Henry Hayward of the 28th Pennsylvania Infantry wrote his father, “I experienced more fear & dread at Taylors Ridge than at either Chancellorsville, Antietam, or Gettysburgh.” This 1-hour program will explore the often-overlooked engagement that took place in Ringgold, Georgia, as the defeated Confederate Army of Tennessee tried to hold off their blue-clad pursuers after the debacle at Missionary Ridge.
