He acquired the title "Rock of Chickamuaga" for his famous stand at the battle of Chickamauga where his brave defense against the rampant Confederates while the Army of the Cumberland broke and ran made him a national hero. He would also quired the nickname "Sledge of Nashville" when he broke the back of the Army of Tennessee at the battle of Nashville.
