...reinforcements. He then attacked, striking with wonderful good fortune a gap, left by a misunderstanding, in the Union centre. Six whole divisions burst through and hurled back the Federal right in utter confusion. Rosecrans himself was drawn into the flight and thought all was lost. At this crisis, Thomas threw himself in the breach, and by his heroic firmness and skill, held the road to Chattanooga for six hours, against the whole strength of the victorious enemy.
