What did Nathan Forrest do on September 19 1863?

This is about the battle of Chickamauga. This battle is a defeat of the Union but apparently the author wants to show that Forrest was not at all the guy who made it a Confederacy victory.
During the battle of Chickamauga, the Confederates had to fight head on Union forces and failed to outmaneuver them. They won only because there was a bad movement from the Union that led them to open their positions, and the infantry used it.
During this battle, this would have been Nathan Forrest role to prevent the Union to move their units too easily, and his role as well to recon their positions and capture some good positions prior to the Confederacy infantry attacks. The author, in the extract you wrote, explains how Forrest failed to achieve those missions.
So:
- The author in the extract of the book speaks of the battle of Chickamauga, 09-18-1863
- On 09-19, Forrest failed repeatedly to play his role, with cavalry forces in the battle
- This led Confederacy infantry to suffer losses in difficult front assaults, what the author called "an imbalanced fight piecemeal, wrecking several regiments"
- Eventually the Confederacy still finished victorious
