Sep 1923 -- Chattanooga Times:

"Snodgrass hill, the scene of the last desperate stand of the Federal army, under General Thomas, on Sunday afternoon, September 20, 1863, took its name from the Snodgrass family who owned the property and lived there at the time, and whose house, marked with an iron plate, still stands. George Washington Snodgrass, a native of Virginia, was the head of the family. He was about 60 years of age at the time of the battle, and was, of course, too old for military duty. He was living with his third wife. He had two grown up sons, one of whom, Charles Snodgrass, was a Confederate soldier and was in the battle. The other son, John, was a cripple, and was at home. The other children at home were Mary, 16; Virginia, 12; Georgia Ann, 10; William R., 8; Julia Kittie, 6; and Martha Ellen, 4.

1984 -- Walker Co., GA, Heritage:

page 368:

(by Martha Mullis Willoughby)

George Washington Snodgrass was born and raised in Virginia. He was indentured until he was 21 years of age to Adam Lanius, from whom he learned the carpentry trade. Later he also worked as a mechanic. He married Elizabeth Lanius, born 1814, the dau. of Adam Lanius, in Botetourt Co., VA, 22 Mar 1835. Their known children were Charles L., born 1835, & John KW., born 1838, both in Virginia. Charles later served as a Confederate soldier. After the war he migrated to Indiana, where he lived out the remainder of his life. John W. was crippled and did not serve in the military. John married Ellen ___, born 1836 in North Carolina. She had two children, Litecion and Tennessee Millsap by a previous marriage. She and John W. had one child, Elizabeth, born 1870.

After George Washington's first wife's death, he moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he married Amanda Munn. Their only child was Mary Jane, born 1843 in Tennessee and died 1914. She married J. W. Merciers 15 Apr 1882.

George Washington's third marriage was to Elizabeth Jackson from Tennessee, born 23 Dec 1823, d. 4 May 1895. Approximately 1850 they moved to Walker Co., GA. George purchased the farm now known as the Snodgrass house, from Samuel Igou on 8 Sep 1855. The parcel of land contained approximately 160 acres. He had lived on the land for 7 years prior to the time of the purchase.

The third marriage produced 6 more children: Eunice Virginia, b. 15 Oct 1851, d. 30 May 1916, married Sam Osborne; Georgia Ann, b. 1853, d. 21 Apr 1922, married Jim Murdock; William Robert, b. 1855, d. ??, married Josie Tyler; Catherine Julia "Kitty," born 3 Feb 1857, d. 8 May 1938, married Green Reed; Martha Ellen, b. 23 Jan 1859, d. 2 Oct 1917, married John Richard Mullis; Rhody, b. 15 Oct 1863, d. 28 Sep 1926, married first Sam Reed and second a Mr. Holmes.

George Washington Snodgrass was 62 years of age at the time of the Civil War, and he was naturally too old to serve. George's family remembered the hardship of the war and was contacted at a later date to give an account of the happenings. Mary Jane and Cathrine Julia did so, and the following are excerpts from their writings. Kitty was 6 years old at the time of the battle in 19 Sep 1863. Mary Jane was 19.

The first Federal soldiers seen by the family were foragers, who first laid tribute upon their sweet potatoes and later on anything else they could find. Kitty remembered the roar of the battle on Friday. Her father refused to leave his home. However, by Saturday afternoon, the bullets began falling around their house and going through the roof, and her father gave the word to leave. They went Northwest from their house and camped in the woods for eight days and nights. There were a number of families at the camp, and they were all practically without food. They fed on field peas, which they roasted, and sweet potatoes, and due to dry weather they suffered much from the lack of water. They made bread with water they got from a hog waller [=wallow], and it made the bread look like it was made with mud.

The Snodgrass house was used as a hospital during and immediately after the battle. When the wounded had finally been removed, nothing remained but broken and blood-stained furniture. It was clear that for the time, they must seek other quarters. Their father took them to Ellis Springs near Ringgold, GA, where they camped for some time. The children carried vivid impressions of the battle scenes, and later told of seeing dead men and dead horses yet unburied along the roadside.

Along with other families within the battle area, they suffered the confusion in the wake of war. A small source of income was selling bullets and relics from the battle scene to persons in Chattanooga.

George Washington Snodgrass and his third wife, Elizabeth, are buried at Chickamauga Cemetery.

(no date) -- (from an unknown source)

Perhaps the most outstanding name connected with the Battle of Chickamauga is that of Snodgrass. Snodgrass Hill was the site of General Thomas's courageous stand on Sunday afternoon, September 20, 1863. The name, Rock of Chickamauga," was applied to Thomas for his gallant stand there during the closing moments of battle.

A. Location:

The Snodgrass cabin is approximately one mile and a half southwest of the Park headquarters situated on a small knoll now named Snodgrass Hill. The house is situated on Land Lot Number 134, Walker Co., Georgia.

B. Landownership

Samuel Igon sold Lot Number 134 to George Washington Snodgrass on September 8, 1855. The parcel of land contained approximately 160 acres. George W. Snodgrass and family owned and farmed the land at the time of the Battle of Chickamauga.

G. W. Snodgrass willed the property to his wife Elizabeth, November 25, 1886. Elizabeth deeded the land to S. T. Osborn, her son-in-law, June 19, 1890. Samuel T. Osborn sold the same lot to the United States government in December 1891, after a petition to condemn his land was brought forward October 1891. Osborn was paid the sum of $6,720.

C. Family History

George Snodgrass was born and raised in Virginia. He moved to Chattanooga and then to Georgia where he purchased the farm in 1855. However, he had been living on the land for some seven years prior to this time. At the time of the battle, George was about 60 years old and married to his third wife, Elizabeth Kingston. The eight Snodgrass children at the time of the battle were: Charles (a Confederate soldier and participant in the battle), John (crippled), Mary (16), Virginia (12), Georgia Ann (10), William R. (8), Julia Kittie (6), and Martha Ellen (4).

In Virginia, George was a bound boy until 21 years of age. He married the dau., Elizabeth Lawnes, of the man to whom he was bound. His second wife was Amanda Munn, and the mother of Mary Jane. He was a mechanic, a carpenter by trade and worked by the day until he was able to pay for the farm.

D. Physical Appearance of the House

The log house, which today is located on park property, is a portion of the original structure in which the Snodgrass family lived during the battle. The original structure was built in 1848.

"The Snodgrass log buildings were located on the northern slope and about 30 or 40 yards back from the crest. The ridge was covered (except the Snodgrass field east and north of the buildings) with timber, and on the southern slope was a growth of underbrush..." Attached to the Snodgrass house was a spare shed, kitchen, and smoke house. Other buildings included servants' quarters, barn (stable, see photo in 23rd Reunion, Society of the Army of the Cumberland, p. 112) and granaries.

The log house itself measured about 20'4" x 18'2" with a front door opening on to a gravel walk. A chimney was on the east side of the house and was made up of cribwork smaller than those logs forming the house. The door in the back of the house opened into a spare shed. Connected to and directly behind the shed was a kitchen measuring 10' x 12' and to its rear a smokehouse measuring 8' x 10'.

The gravel path was about 30 feet long and ended at a rough picket gate. The picket gate was a portion of the split oak rail fence which surrounded the Snodgrass house. The fence measured 100' x 160'.

The natural setting of the area included a woodland directly in back of the fence. Within the fence were two cedar trees. To the east of the house was a meadow. South of the house was a garden and to the west of it was an apple and peach orchard.

E. Battle Events

Following Longstreet's breaktrhough at the Brotherton House, the Union troops began to fall back. As they did so the Union line broke into two sections, of which one group went with General Rosecrans and withdrew into Chattanooga. The second group was to come under the command of General Thomas on Snodgrass Hill. Among those Union troops were Brannan's Division, Steedman's Division, and fragments of Negley's, Woods, and Van Cleve's Divisions. The Union troops held the hill during the afternoon and at dusk began the withdrawal into Roseville.

The house was used as a hospital during the battle, as were the Brotherton and Kelly houses. Brigadier-General William Preston, CSA, reported: "Among the wounded at Snodgrass's house, where a hospital had been established by the enemy, were many prisoners, some of whom were from Crittenden's Corps..." The Snodgrasses could have attested to the fact that their house was used as a hospital, also, for when they returned after the battle, their home was a "gory shambles" with broken and bloodstained furniture, and filled with wounded men.

The first Federal soldiers seen by the Snodgrass family had been foragers in search of food. Although sounds of battle were heard on Friday, George W. Snodgrass refused to leave his home. By 3:00 p.m. on the 19th the Snodgrasses were forced to leave their home, as bullets began falling around their home and through the roof. That same Saturday afternoon Mary Jane had been sent to the William Mullis farm for a wagon. When she returned she found 63 men, women, and children there. At this time all left to camp in the woods.

As the battle drew to a close on Sunday evening, the campers heard a band playing a Southern battle song. Everyone rejoiced, yet they were unable to return soon to their homes, for they were filled with wounded. The Snodgrass family found it necessary to move to Elis Springs near Ringgold, where they remained until the close of the war.

8) Snodgrass Hill. It was here that Gen. George H. Thomas became the "Rock of Chickamauga." When Longstreet's attack struck the Union center, the Federal troops there fell back to this hill, where Thomas organized them into a determined defending force. The log cabin here marks the site of the 1863 home of the Snodgrass family.

Map 10. Afternoon of September 20 <1863>. After Longstreet's breakthrough, Brannan formed a line of his own and other unit fragments, facing south on so-called Horseshoe Ridge. As the men built breastworks of rocks and fence rails, Thomas stood "like a rock" on Snodgrass Hill close to the center of this line, and took personal charge. To his left was a half-mile gap between his flank and the right of Reynolds' division, Turchin's brigade. Longstreet never perceived this weakness, but rearranged his divisions for an attack around the Federal right.

Kereshaw opened th assault at 1 p.m. He was beaten off, but continued to press the attack all afternoon. Then Longstreet threw Johnson and Hindman's divisions against Brannan's right. Before Johnson could close, Steedman arrived to block him. ON his march from McAfee's Church he had diverged from the Lafayette Road to avoid artillery fire, and had passed through Mullis's farm. He struck Johnson head-on, and this fight continued until dark, with Johnson definitely repulsed.

Longstreet, having failed in flank attacks, now brought up Preston's fresh division against Thomas' center. The fighting was vicious and bloody, but artillery and their breastworks enabled the Federals to stand fast.

Bragg finally got Polk moving at 5 p.m. Liddell reached the LaFayette Road with two brigades but was thrown back by Turchins' audacious counterattack.

At 5:30 p.m. Thomas began to withdraw. Three regiments covering the movement from Horseshoe Ridge were sacrificed but the rest of Thomas' force retreated safely under cover of darkness to Rossville. Bragg did not pursue.

Joel Kelly, ca. 1775-ca. 1862 (Paul Smith--1984)

The following is from Alexander Clark Kelley's story [date?], which was loaned to author by Louise Davis Brock in 1980:

The Snodgrass Hill, the scene of the last desperate stand of the Federal Army under General Thomas, on Sunday afternoon 20 Sep 1864 took its name from the Snodgrass family who owned the property and lived there at the time, and whose house, marked with an iron plate, still stands. George Washington Snodgrass, a native of Virginia, was head of the family. He was 60 years old at the time of the battle and was, of course, too old for military duty. He was living with his third wife. He had two grown sons, one of whom, Charlie Snodgrass, was a Confederate soldier and was in the battle. The other son, John, was a cripple and was at home. The other children at home were Mary (16), Virginia (12), Georgia Ann (10), William R. (8), Julia Kittie (6), and Mary Ellen (4). The only one of these living now is Julia Kittie, who married D. Green Reed in 1879 and who now lives with her husband and family near Parker's gap in Hamilton Co., TN. Mrs. Reed is an active, energetic, and intelligent lady. She was only 6 years old at the time of the battle, but her recollections are most clear and vivid. When asked recently to tell something of the battle, she graciously did so and talked most interestingly of her experiences during the battle and afterward.

The first Federal soldiers seen by her and her family were foragers, who first laid tribute upon their sweet potatoes and later on anything else they could find, including eatables and livestock. She remembers the roar of the battle on Friday when Wilder at Alexander's bridge and Mity at Reed's Bridge were disputing the crossing of the Confederates. Her father refused at that time to leave the house, and the next morning they heard the increasing thunder of the conflict, which began first at Jay's Mill and then spread southward toward Lee and Gordon's Hill, until from across the whole five miles front rose the infernal din of battle.

About 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon the 19th bullets began falling around their house and going through the roof, and their father gave word to retreat. They went northwest from their house up a ravine and camped in the woods. As the battle surged nearer, the missiles began to fall about them, compelling them to retreat further into the wood. Here they made camp and remained for eight days and nights. The families represented at this camp were the Snodgrasses, Kelleys, McDonalds, Brocks, and Mullises.
