It was a gamble to say the least, sneaking up on Confederates in order to open a vital supply line to a starving Union army in Chattanooga. In the early morning hours of October 27, 1863, over a thousand blue-clad soldiers silently floated down the Tennessee River toward Brown’s Ferry, an important river crossing guarded by Southern soldiers. Suddenly, masked by the darkness and fog, Union soldiers splashed into the shallow water and made landfall! Living historians will bring this important event to life on its 155th Anniversary.
