How the Army of the Cumberland Wor

How the Army Of the Cumberland Won
Victory Of Missionary Ridge.
When the soldiers OF the Army OF
the Cumberland were ordered TO clear
the rife pits at the base OF Missionary
ridge they did It and then, accord
ing TO orders, lay on their arms and
let the Confederatcs pop at them with
out replying. This did not suit the
Union men, and soon they began to
get uneasy. First one regiment, then
another, moved out and started up the
ridge until finally the whole Army OF
the Cumberland was climbing that
hill, struggling over rocks and timber,
but ever onward, without any orders
having been given for an advance.
The result was that eventually Cen
eral Thomas soldiers captured the
ridge.
When General Grant saw the men
scrambling up the ridge he turned to
Thomas and said, "Who ordered those
men up?"
81 don't know, but l did not" was
his answer.
Did you order them up?" asked
Grant OF Granger. who was standing
near.
Not J." answered Granger. "They
started without orders. But no mat
ter; when those boys get started moth
Ing can stop them"

On the breaking out OF the war with

penses from his private purse. In a
gallant charge mt Churubusco he lost
an arm. At San Antonio be was bre-
vetted major for gallantry. In 1851 he
resigned from the army, Travelled
around the world and settled In New
ark. n. j. In 1859 he went TO France
and served under Napoleon I'm the

Legion OF Honor at Solferino. He lived
In Paris awhile, but when the civil
war broke ont Joined the Army of the
Potomac. He was made Il major gen
