David Powell spoke to the Round Table on May 8 and discussed Rosecrans' retreat into Chattanooga. This presentation was based on the third book in his Chickamauga trilogy, Barren Victory: The Retreat into Chattanooga, the Confederate Pursuit, and the Aftermath of the Battle, September 21 to October 20, 1863. David explained various details of the battle and its aftermath, arguing that while the Confederates achieved a significant tactical victory Bragg was unable to capitalize on the victory due largely to logistical problems. Consequently, the Federals were able to establish a base in Chattanooga and prepare for the 1864 invasion of Georgia.
