The Battle of Brown’s Ferry was an engagement of the American Civil War which took place on October 27, 1863 just outside of Chattanooga. During the battle, two Union brigades drove Confederate sharpshooters from the Tennessee River, which allowed supplies to start arriving to the Union army at Chattanooga. Although a minor engagement, the battle proved to have significant results in paving the way for the Union victory at Chattanooga a month later.
