them and they retired with some loss.
Gen. Wheeler's real objective was the rail-
roads which supplied Sherman's army
from Nashville. He was now 100 miles
from the nearest point on the railroad be-
tween Nashville and Chattanooga.
While the destruction of the railroad be-
tween Chattanooga and Knoxville and
the capture of small garrisons and supplies
in that region was an unpleasant feautre
of the campaign, it had no effect what
ever upon the movements of Sherman's s
army, and did not cause it to loosen its
grip upon Atlanta.
Before crossing the Tennessee River
Gen. Wheeler sent Gen. Williams with
three brigades and half his artillery to
capture the garrison at Strawberry Plains
and destroy the railroad bridge over the
Tennessee Gen. Williams expected to be
able to do his work during the day and
rejoin the main column that night; but
for some reason which was never satisfac-
torily explained to Gen. Wheeler, Williams
did not join him again during the cam
paign, although several times ordered to
do so, but conducted a campaign in East
Tennessee on his own account. With his
reduced forces Gen. Wheeler promptly
turned his face westward and marched
rapidly towards the Nashville & Chatta-
noOga Railroad. Gen. Rousseau, COM
man at Chattanooga, were on the alert to
meet any attack that Gen. Wheeler might
make. Wheeler struck the railroad some
distance south of Nashville and inflicted
some slight injuries here and there, but
he was attacked with both cavalry and
and after two days left the road
and marched away westward against the
Nashville L. Decatur Road. AS soon as
he struck this road he turned south and
here and there destroyed the track and
and destroyed few trains. But
it was impossible for him to pause at any
point sufficient length of time to enable
him to tear up length of track that
would seriously delay traffic.
The Union forces were on his trail, and
he soon found it necessary to hurry away
and make his escape. He had skirmishes
at Franklin and Linnville, on the rail
road, after which he turned west, aban-
doned further effort against the railroad,
was attacked by the Union forces at
and from thence made his
way down into Alabama. Here he was
safe, and his jaded horses and weary men,
after a month IF hard campaigning, had n
short respite from marching and fighting.
Wheeler's raid must stand as one of
the most successful cavalry raids of the
civil war. Gen. Wheeler with compara
lively a small force struck out against the
lines of communication of Sherman's
army, and for 80 days kept the field, strik-
ing here and there, tearing up the track of
the several roads in his line of march,
never assaulting infantry in position, and
avoiding a general engagement
with a superior force. He exhibited in
high degree those sterling qualities of a
ton and courage.
