Nov. 23ed Cheatham's and Walker's divisions held the left of the Confederate line from Chattanooga Creek to the base of Lookout and the north slope of the mountain.

After the loss of the mountain Cheatham's division was withdrawn during the night of Nov. 24th to Missionary Ridge and took position on the left of Walker. Before the battle began on the 25th Hindman's Cheatham's and Walker's divisions had prolonged Bragg's line on Missionary Ridge to within three-quarters of a mile of the Tunnel.

After dark the corps withdrew by the bridges over the Chickamauga.
