with the generals explanations made
after the war the affair was at best
only a partial success. Whether the
success gained had any military value
Is an open question. The distance GOV

The Confederates also had spies at
work, and Sherman's movements were
watched from day to day and reported
to Folks headquarters. Small bodies
OF Confederate cavalry confronted the
marching columns and lowered on the

1t was not for lack of information or
opportunity that the Confederates per-
mitted Sherman to march 40 miles
into their territory without heading
him of. They hadn't the men to cope
with his 1900 infantry. From the
very start General S. d. Lee was in
Sherman's front with a body of Con-
federate cavalry, but he had only 1900
troopers, barely enough for scouting
and skirmishing.
Lee frequently communicated with
his chieftain, General Polk. who re
