I am trying to find some information on a train wreck involving Longstreet's Corps while on it's way to Chickamauga. Does anyone know any details of this incident and where it happened? Thanks.

I've looked in Longstreet's papers, the Official Records, EP Alexander's autobiography, a couple of private soldiers' diaries and Peter Cozzen's "This Terrible Sound," and cannot find any mention of a train wreck. I would think that since there was only one open railroad they could have taken any wreck would have been a significant emotional event that would have been noted somewhere. Are you thinking of a different campaign maybe? Sorry I couldn't help more. -Mark
