| | The goal of the offensive led by Union Major General William S. Rosecrans in August 1863 was the capture of Chattanooga, Tennessee. | | | The 89th Illinois Infantry Regiment was part of R.W. Johnson's division, Brigadier General August Willich's brigade. | | | Possession of Chattanooga was a necessary first step in any Union action against the Confederate heartland, for Chattanooga was a railway central point, and both Rosecrans and Confederate General Braxton Bragg knew very well of the paramount importance of railroads to modern armies. |
