This Division reached the eastern base of Missionary Ridge from Chickamauga Station the evening of Nov. 23. It had reached the latter station on its way to report to Gen. Longstreet at Knoxville. At dawn of the 24th it began to throw up earthworks along the crest of the ridge from Gen. Bragg's headquarters to the Shallow Ford Road. At 2 p.m. it was dispatched in haste to Tunnel Hill to confront Gen. Sherman's forces. At that hour Walker's Division was on the ridge between Cleburne's right and Tunnel Hill.
The head of the Division reached Tunnel Hill about 2:30 p.m.
