of Bridgeport As Wheeler's men rode
| closer the Transfers became panic
| stricken and took to their heels for
safety. leaving their uncontrolled
teams to run wild. Some of the wag-
ons were overturned. blocking the road
in places with anywhere from ten to
fifty teams. some of the mules still
standing. some fallen and tangled in
the harness and all In inextricable con-
fusion. For six or eight miles the raid
ers followed this line of wagons, with
gevery half mile or SO a repetition of
this scene. Men were detailed to set
fire to the wagons and to kill the
mules since it was impossible to es-
cape with all the animals.
BY this time the smoke of the burn
ing train was visible for many miles.
and soon the explosions of fixed am
munition, with which a number of
wagon were loaded. sounded along
the valley road, not unlike the firing of
artillery in action. General Rosecrans
expressed the opinion that the Con-
federates We're bombarding his depot
Of supplies at Bridgeport.
In his official report Rosecrans ad-
mitted the loss of 600 wagons, SO that
| there may have been from me to two
thousand mules destroyed or captured
While the wagons We're still burning
and before the pursuing detachment,
which had gone to the extreme limit
of the train. could return to the main
column Colonel McCook, in command
of the Federal cavalry. arrived on the
scene and formed his line of battle be-
tween the divided Confederates.
The capture and destruction of this
immense train was one Of the greatest
achievements of General Wheeler's
cavalry. Its loss was keenly felt by
the Federals, for it added to the preca-

cross roads. where Wheeler was oper-
ating. At l p. "a. the advancing
troopers saw the smoke of the burning
wagon train and soon encountered
Wheeler's outposts.
With his column closed up at night
fall, McCook attacked Wheeler's
marching column and r%ecaptured some
of the mules. The raiders were then
moving northward away from the
river. McCook's orders were to guard
the wagon line. and. not feeling au-
thorized to abandon the vicinity, he
did not continue pursuit.
Crook and Wheeler In a Fight.
On the Sd the brigades of Long and
Minty united at the base of Cumber-
land mountains. near Pikeville. Up to
that time Wheeler's command had NOV
ed in separate bodies, deceiying the
enemy as to their strength and lnten-
tions. They were fewer at any given
point than the overcautious Federals
supposed.
On the march Colonel j. II. Wilder's
brigade Joined Crooks main column,
and the whole division crossed the
mountains toward McMinnville. Can
non were hauled up the cliffs by hand,
often fifty men being required to one
piece. When Longs brigade was with
in eight miles of McMinnyille, Wheel
er's rearguard was encountered. =
Wheeler's brigades were now acting
in concert. A line of several hundred
troopers was strongly posted on some
hills to cover a defile through which
passed the road to Meanwhile. After
a brisk skirmlsh Longs men withdrew
and Minty's brigade attempted to dis
lodge the Confederates. As the nature
of the ground was against the effective
use of men on horseback. the Fourth
United States and Fourth Michigan
dismounted and forced Wheeler's men
to abandon the heights.
Following a mounted charge of he
Seventh Pennsylvania cavalry through
the defile the C~onfederates rode away
to McMinnville. This place Wheeler
had captured. with its garrison of 600
men. He had also burned large guam
titles of Federal supplies. Crooks d.
vision when united was too strong for
the raiders However, Wheeler push
ed on north. aiming to strike the sup
ply depots of the enemy at Murfrees-
boro.

lngton. Here ensued the heaviest en-
counter of the series.
The affair ut Pennington took place
at night. Wilder's and Longs bri-
gades attacked with vigor and cut
Wheeler's line in two. The raiders
lost four cannon besides small arms
recaptured and over 300 men In killed,
wounded and missing. Wheeler's men
during the raid had captured enough
blue uniforms to clothe themselves
comfortably for the winter weather at
hand.
While Long and Wilder fought at
Pennington, Minty's brigade rode
off from Nashville. When ten miles
distant from Pennington, Minty re-
ceiyed orders to hurry to that place, as
a battle was raging there. Moving at
a gallop. the column arrived in time to
join in the last attack upon Wheeler.
The long march had so exhausted the
horses that effective pursuit was i'm
possible. and Wheeler's men covered
twenty miles that night on their way
to the Alabama border, The Federal
cavalry had saved the bread route Of
the army In Chattanooga for the time
being.
Wheeler's main column rode in the
direction of Pulaski. on the line of the
Nashville railroad. Pulaski was reach
ed the night of the 9th, and. without
waiting for his ~detachments to get up.
Wheeler made his way speedily across
the border into northern Alabama.
The Tennessee river was la front of
the raiders and, owing to its swollen
condition. its passage was difficult,
with enemies in close pursuit. Minty's
and Longs brigades had followed the
raiders from Pennington. hoping to
Intercept them at the Tennessee. They
were too late to accomplish more thar
the capture of sixty or seventy men of
the rear guard and some wagons and
two guns abandoned on the north bank.

"HE first week in October, 1868,
a struggle for the control of a
bread route began between the
opposing forces at Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn. The Federals had establish
ed themselves In an intrenched camp
at Chattanooga. but were sixty miles
distant from the nearest s~torehouse of
army supplies. The Confederates lay
behind intrenchments on hills east and
west of the town and so had the Fed
erals at their feet and under their
eyes.
The Federal commander. General
Rosecrans. was in great straits to get
food to camp for men and animals. 1t
had to be hauled by wagons, and
heavy rains set in, increasing the diff
fculty. The storehouses were on the
Tennessee river at Bridgeport, Ala,
from whence they were taken by mule
trains over the mountains sixty miles.
General Bragg, Rosecrans' opponent,
decided to attack the enemy's sources
of supply instead of his intrenched
lines as the simplest way to force the
evacuation of Chattanooga.
When Bragg consulted his cavalry
leader, General Joe Wheeler, in regard
to an expedition north of the Tennes-
see to break Rosecrans' lines Of COM
~munications Wheeler informed him
that few of the horses were able to
stand the strain of such an expedition.
He was. however. ordered to do the
best he could, and all the best mounts
were assembled for the raid.

Swift Pursuit of Wheeler.
Had Wheeler returned to the south
bank of the Tennessee after his first
success the gain to Bragg would have
been immense in that it crippled the
enemy. The supplies and other prop
erty destroyed were valued at $1,000
600. 1t would take weeks to duplicate
the rations in the Federal camps while
maintaining a daily supply to stave off
hunger. But Wheeler's immediate
foes didn't give him time to choose his
course. Rosecrans had stationed a
division of cavalry under General
George Crook to patrol the river from
Chattanooga east and northward, and
the division Of General e. M. McCook
to guard the river and roads westward
to Bridgeport. Wheeler's main column
was all across the Tennessee early on
Oct. 1. Early that day, also. news Of
this startling event reached both Nc
Cook and Crook. At ] p. M, McCook's
men were In saddle and on the road to
Jasper, where the danger was greatest.
