McCOOk's Unpreparedness.
In spite of all that had been said to
him. in spite of all that he had seen
himself during the two days that he had
been upon the ground, and in spite Of
the alarming reports which had been
brought in to him through the night,
McCook was singularly unprepared for
the blow which Hardee launched
against him shortly after daybreak.
After arousing his troops, and getting
them under arms before daybreak, Gen.
Willich had ordered them to break
ranks and get breakfast, while he rode
off to Gen. Johnson's headquarters.
Gen. Kirk, commanding the next bri-
gade, had stretched his line out too
thinly, in order to hold all the ground
that he wanted. Most singular of all,
Capts Edgarton and Goodspeed, who
afterwards were counted among the best
