During the Battle of Chattanooga from Nov. 23d to Nov. 27th, 1863, the Confederate losses reported by divisions covered Orchard Knob, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, and subsequent operations as far as Ringgold Gap, GA. Longstreet's Corps, consisting of McLaw's and Hood's divisions, was not engaged because it had been dispatched to Knoxville on Nov. 4th. Bushrod Johnson's Division was on its way to Knoxville, and although its rear brigade under Reynolds was recalled in time for the third day's battle, it made no report of its casualties. Reported losses were Cheatham's Division, 56 killed, 371 wounded, 1244 missing, aggregate 1671; Cleburne's Division, 62 killed, 367 wounded, 12 missing, aggregate 441; Stevenson's Division, 36 killed, 282 wounded, 14 missing, aggregate 332; Walker's Division, 14 killed, 118 wounded, 190 missing, aggregate 322; Hindman's Division and Patton Anderson's Division, 76 killed, 476 wounded, 1124 missing, aggregate 1676; Stewart's Division, 72 killed, 316 wounded, 965 missing, aggregate 1353; Breckinridge's Division and Bate's Division, 44 killed, 224 wounded, 591 missing, aggregate 859; Robertson's Battalion Reserve Artillery, 1 killed, 4 wounded, 6 missing, aggregate 11; and Williams' Battalion Reserve Artillery, 2 wounded, aggregate 2.
