Sherman Crosses the River
City: Hixson, TN
Region: East Tennessee
Subregion: Chattanooga & Southeast
On Nov. 24, 1863, Union troops under Gen. William T. Sherman made a surprise crossing on pontoon boats assembled here and approached the north end of Missionary Ridge. Sherman’s attack on the ridge stalled, however, and the major assault against the final Confederate position at Chattanooga was made elsewhere.
