About the Book

Longstreet's Breakthrough at Chickamauga tells the true story of the events on that fateful Sunday morning, September 20, 1863-an event that for over 150 years has been shrouded in controversy. In this book, author Robert Carter makes clear the chain of events leading to the breakthrough, and dispels the myth that Longstreet's attack was the clean and easy breakthrough of legend and lore. Longstreet's Breakthrough at Chickamauga may be read as a history of the breakthrough, or it may be used as an excellent walking tour of that part of the Chickamauga battlefield where the breakthrough occurred. The 10-stop, two and a half hour walk leads you to the significant sites where the action took place. Robert Carter brings the story to life with the use of dozens of first-person accounts. Twelve new maps compliment the story, placing the reader right in the midst of the battle. Praise for Longstreet's Breakthrough at Chickamauga: There is no better way to understand a Civil War battle than to walk the ground with an experienced guide. With Longstreet's Breakthrough at Chickamauga you can do exactly that, exploring a part of the Chickamauga battlefield in welcome detail and clarity. In this second of his guidebook series, Robert Carter has brought a key moment of the Battle of Chickamauga to life. I look forward to many more such efforts. David A. Powell, author of The Maps of Chickamauga, and, Failure in the Saddle In Longstreet's Breakthrough at Chickamauga, Robert Carter once again brings us a most useful and enlightening guidebook about one of the more famous moments of the Battle of Chickamauga. He brings new light to various aspects of what occurred there, and puts to bed some well beloved myths about the battle. Lee White, author of Bushwhacking on a Grand Scale: The Battle of Chickamauga Robert Carter's latest work offers a logical and carefully designed walking route through the key area of the Chickamauga battlefield, spiced with compelling human interest stories that bring history to life. Dr. William Glenn Robertson, author of Back Door to Richmond: The Bermuda Hundred Campaign, and The Petersburg Campaign: The Battle of Old Men and Young Boys
About the Author: Robert Carter first visited the Chickamauga Battlefield when he was six years old. Since that time he has been a serious student of Civil War history. Longstreet's Breakthrough at Chickamauga: Accidental Victory is the second of a series of three guidebooks Mr. Carter is writing about the Battle of Chickamauga. His first, The Fight for Snodgrass Hill and the Rock of Chickamauga, was published in 2012. Mr. Carter is an educator with 40 years experience teaching high school in Georgia, Virginia, and Alabama. A native of Chatsworth, Georgia, a town close to the battlefield, he graduated with Bachelor of Science and Masters Degrees from Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama. Robert Carter's passion for sharing Civil War history and walking the battlefields shines in all his works. Longstreet's Breakthrough at Chickamauga puts the reader right in the middle of the action on the morning and early afternoon of September 20, 1863. Mr. Carter also is a volunteer in the Visitor Center at Chickamauga National Military Park. He is a frequent lecturer and tour guide, and is currently working on the final guidebook of this series.
