Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Other Side General: On the 31st of May, 1864, at the instance of the Major General commanding the Military Division of the Missouri, I was placed in command of an expedition then being organized and concentrated at Lafayette, Tennessee, by the Major General commanding the District of West Tennessee, for the purpose of operating against the rebel forces under Forrest, in Northeast Mississippi, with a view to creating a diversion in favor of Gen. Sherman´s Army then engaged in the campaign against Atlanta. My command was composed of about 8,000 men - infantry, cavalry, and artillery. My instructions were to proceed to Corinth, Miss., by way of Salem and Ruckerville: capture any force that might be there, then proceed south, destroying the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to Tupelo, Okolona, and as far as possible toward Macon and Columbus, with a portion of my force; thence to Grenada and back to Memphis. On the 2nd of June I arrived at Lafayette, assumed command of the troops, and at once proceeded on that service, but owing to heavy rains and bad roads leading through a low, wooded country, and to the fact that my command was necessarily encumbered with some 200 wagons, our progress was slow, notwithstanding every exertion was made by me to expedite the march. We were compelled to carry our supplies as the country to be traversed was totally destitute of supplies for either man or beast. For a distance of some 75 or 100 miles (I cannot speak definitely as to the exact distance at this late date) our line of march lay along a narrow and almost impracticable road.
