In 1863 Rosecrans, refusing to advance until the See also:isolation of See also:Vicksburg (farther west) was assured, did not take the offensive until See also:late in See also:June. The operations thus begun were most skilfully conducted, and Bragg was forced back to See also:Chattanooga (q.v.), whence he had to retire on being once more outmanceuvred. But Rosecrans sustained a great defeat at the battle of Chickamauga (q.v.), and was soon besieged in Chattanooga. He was then relieved from his command.
