Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Raid of the Confederate Cavalry Through Central Tennessee, in October, 1863, Commanded by General Joseph Wheeler: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion, April 1, 1908 Two days after the battle of Chickamauga, fought September 19th and 20th, 1863, the 2d Cavalry Division, Army of the Cumberland, commanded by General George Crook, entered Chattanooga, forded the Tennessee River and went into bivouac opposite the town. The Division crossed the Tennessee to the South, some distance below Stevenson. Alabama, September 2d, and had been in the saddle continuously for twenty days. The horses were much jaded and had great need of shoeing and rest. The troopers were worn out, uniforms, arms and equipments required repairs and renovating. We had not seen our wagon train for a month, and the officers, not having a change of clothing during the campaign, were neither comfortable nor presentable. It was hoped that we would at least get a few days rest, but we were doomed to disappointment, for in two days we were destined to start on another hard campaign, which up to that time had not had a parallel in the annals of the Cavalry service of that Army. The Division was composed of nine regiments of Cavalry and one Battery of Artillery. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
