About this book
A disputed delay before the Battle of Nashville gives Henry V. Boynton his subject: the preparation of George H. Thomas's army and the pressure on its commander to attack. Boynton defends Thomas's decision to gather his infantry and secure horses for his cavalry, arguing that these practical needs explain the pace of his operations. The account also follows General James H. Wilson's mounted forces in Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia.
Official messages bring the disagreements into view, with Grant, Sherman, and Stanton appearing in the debate over readiness and results. Thomas's own account of muddy roads, heavy rain, and limited transport supplies a concrete picture of the difficulties behind military orders.
