The Battle of Brown's Ferry was an engagement of the American Civil War which took place on October 27, 1863, in Hamilton County, Tennessee. 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 via the "Cracker Line". Although a minor engagement, the battle proved to have significant results in paving the way for the Union victory at the Battle of Chattanooga a month later.
