As Bragg marched north along the LaFayette Road to engage Crittenden's XXI Corps on September 18, his cavalry and infantry fought with Union cavalry and Union mounted infantry under the command of Col. Robert Minty and Col. John T. Wilder (whose command was armed with Spencer repeating rifles). The forces under Hood, Walker, and Simon B. Buckner crossed West Chickamauga Creek against this pressure and bivouacked just to the west of the creek; Crittenden's corps was one mile (1.6 km) to the west of their position. Although Bragg had achieved some degree of surprise, he failed to strongly exploit it. Rosecrans, observing the dust raised by the marching Confederates in the morning, anticipated Bragg's plan. He ordered Thomas and McCook to Crittenden's support, and while the Confederates were crossing the creek, Thomas began to arrive in Crittenden's rear area.
Battle of Chickamauga: September 19 attacks
On the morning of September 19, Thomas's four divisions were spread out north of Crittenden's position. Bragg, however, was unaware of the arrival of Thomas and believed that Crittenden occupied the left flank of the Union position. The Union commanders were equally unaware of the Confederate dispositions and did not know that they had crossed the creek the night before. Early that morning, the Confederate corps under Buckner and Maj. Gen. Benjamin F. Cheatham's division joined Hood and Walker. The fighting that morning started with an attack by Thomas, who believed he was attacking only a small force under cavalry commander Brig. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest to his front. The fight expanded and lasted throughout the day as Bragg and Rosecrans engaged more of their armies. The fighting would seesaw back and forth with first one side attacking and then in turn being attacked, but as the day wore on the Confederates' numerical advantage began to be felt and the Union forces began to be slowly driven back toward the LaFayette Road.
That night, as Rosecrans rearranged his divisions to form a more compact defensive line, Bragg made plans to resume his offensive on September 20 by once again attempting to envelop the Union left flank. He reorganized his army into two wings, commanded by Polk and Longstreet (who had just arrived from Virginia), based on locations of units at the time, without regard for the existing command structures. Bragg seemed to have been unaware of the severity of the fighting that day, because when Longstreet arrived that night, Bragg told him that "the troops have been engaged in ... severe skirmishing while endeavoring to get in line of battle."
Battle of Chickamauga: September 20 attacks
On September 20, Confederate Maj. Gen. D.H. Hill was supposed to assault the Union right flank at 7:30 a.m. However, he delayed two hours, later claiming he had not received orders, but more likely pouting over being passed over for wing command. General Thomas's men would use the quiet morning hours to construct crude breastworks along their line around Kelly field. Shortly after Hill's attack commenced, one of his divisions under Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge attacked Thomas's left flank and was able to flank it and gain Thomas's rear temporarily. By 10:15 a.m., part of Maj. Gen. James S. Negley's division, which had been held in reserve, had pushed north and repulsed the assault. The next Confederate attack was by Maj. Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne, but he was stopped by fire from the breastworks at Kelly Field. Bragg was concerned about the failure of his attacks on the Union left and ordered a general assault along the entire line, changing his strategy from a flanking attack to a full frontal assault. At 11 a.m., assaults by Maj. Gen. Alexander P. Stewart and Walker were repulsed.
Thomas requested reinforcements, and Rosecrans began shifting units to react to the initial attacks on his flank. At about 11 a.m., General T.J. Wood was ordered to replace Brig. Gen. John Milton Brannan's division, which had been ordered to Thomas's aid. Brannan had not followed the order, however, after being attacked by Stewart's men; the order was poorly written and told Wood to close up and support Reynolds. Although he could not close up on him, he could move his men to a supporting position, which created a real gap that corps commander Alexander McCook was trying to fill when Longstreet's entire wing of the army attacked. They were able to exploit this gap and struck the columns of Union soldiers in their flanks as they moved. Longstreet had, however inadvertently, achieved another successful surprise assault, for which he had a well-deserved reputation in the war.Louis J Sheehan

The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 18 to September 20, 1863, marked the end of a Union offensive in south-central Tennessee and northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.
The battle was fought between the Union Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg, and was named for the (now South) Chickamauga Creek, which flows into the Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6km) northeast of downtown Chattanooga. Chickamauga was a local Indian word meaning "Stagnant River" or, less accurately, "River of Death," usage that may have begun after the battle.[1]

In his successful Tullahoma Campaign in the summer of 1863, Rosecrans moved southeast from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, driving Bragg across the state of Tennessee to the city of Chattanooga, suffering only 560 casualties along the way. Chattanooga was a vital city for Union war aims because seizing it would open the door for an assault on Atlanta and the heartland of the South. General-in-chief Henry W. Halleck was insistent that Rosecrans move quickly to seize Chattanooga. President Abraham Lincoln declared that "whoever controls Chattanooga will win the war." Chattanooga was also vital to the Confederate States of America. The location between Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Raccoon Mountain, and Stringer's Ridge was strategically important. In addition, Chattanooga was a rail hub (lines going northward toward Nashville and Knoxville and southward toward Atlanta), a center of banking and commerce, and a manufacturing center (iron and coke) located on the navigable Tennessee River.

The Union troops in the gap began to retreat, carrying Rosecrans along with them, and McCook's and Crittenden's commands soon followed. By 1 p.m., Thomas was the sole commander left on the battlefield. He received word from Rosecrans to withdraw the troops to Rossville, Georgia, a few miles to the north in the direction of Chattanooga. But Thomas was too heavily engaged to move. He began consolidating forces on Horseshoe Ridge and Snodgrass Hill. The Union Reserve Corps commander, Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger, who was north of the battlefield at MacAfee's Church, heard the firing to the south and, on his own initiative, sent Brig. Gen. James B. Steedman to support Thomas. Steedman arrived about 2:30 p.m., just in time to stop Longstreet's attempt to envelop Thomas's right flank. At about 4 p.m., Longstreet made one final effort but could not break the stubborn Union defense. At the same time, Thomas repulsed a renewed assault by Cheatham on his left flank.
