Written in the aftermath of the Battles for Chattanooga, Cranor reports that he is among the living, but that his company had lost eighteen men from his company leaving only sixteen. He describes three charges that his brigade made and lists the local dead. "I don't think there was ever more bravery displayed on a battel field than there was here."
