Battle of Chickamauga
Scientist Page


At the battle of Chickamauga the temperature was around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The weather was good during that war, no rain came to distract the men from misfire or to make their gun powder useless. When you compare the temperature to today's weather it is nearly the same.

The sanitation and sterilization during the war at Chickamauga was not really good. The doctors only washed their hands in some water from a bowl with some blood in it and then they came in with the patient. The doctors did not really have anything that could sterilize the table so he operation tables were often bloody so diseases would often spread through through out the army's.
