Braxton Bragg's strategical plan for the battle of Murfreesboro (Stone's River) was masterfully conceived as a "wing battle", like those conceived and led by Epaminonda and Frederick II of Prussia. Had not Bragg on the late afternoon of the 31st Dec. 1862 abandoned that scheme, attempting instead to break through the Union Centre, he would have likely destroyed Rosecrans's Army.
But I can't understand why Braxton Bragg should be acclaimed as "hero of Murfreesboro", when at dawn of the 3rd of January 1863, his over estimation of the enemy forces, led him to leave the field retreating his army to Tullahoma, 60 kilometres southeastward towards Chattanooga, signing the failure of
the Confederate endeavor of destroying the Army of Cumberland.
