Adjutant and Inspector-General, Richmond, Virginia: General — The want of subordinate reports has hitherto prevented me from making an official report of the operations of my corps of the Army of Tennessee, from the opening of the campaign at Dalton to the time of my transfer from that army on the 28th September, 1864. Many of the general officers of that corps were killed, wounded or captured in the recent Tennessee campaign without having made up their reports, and this obstacle, thereforted lieutenant of Albert Sidney Johnston in Kentucky--in charge of the first line of battle at Shiloh-at Perryville — in command of the victorious left wing at Murfreesboroa — in the long and deadly grapple of Sherman's and Johnston's armies from Dalton to Atlanta — at Savannah, and through the Carolinas — at Bentonville, leading a remnant of the Army of Tennessee in the last charge it ever made — always on duty; always at the post of honor and of danger; always equal to the trusts reposed

Lookout mountain — report of General John K. Jackson. headquarters Cheatham's division, near Dalton, Ga., 21st December, 1863. Major J. J. Reeve, Assistant Adjutant-General: Major — My report of the unfortunate disaster on Lookout mountain on the 24th instant has been somewhat delayed in consequence of the delay of the brigade commanders in sending their reports to me, the last of which — that of Brigadier-General Moore--was received this day. The result of that day's operations, and the character of the reports of brigade commanders, which are herewith sent inclosed, require of me a report more in detail than I would otherwise make it, and will excuse the personal cast which it assumes. On the 9th November, 1863, in conformity with orders from army headquarters, being temporarily in command of Cheatham's division, I reported to Major-General W. H. T. Walker. A reorganization of the army having just taken place, I had with me to report to General Walker but one brigade o<
Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 8. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Cleburne and his division at Missionary ridge and Ringgold gap. (search)
On the night of the 22d Cleburne was ordered to move to Chickamauga Station, to assume command of his own and General Bushrod Johnson's division and proceed via Dalton to East Tennessee, there to report to General Longstreet. The division moved at dawn the following morning. Johnson, having preceded, was first to take the carso gallantly, and brought up the rear of the retiring army. Before dawn on the morning of the 26th General Bragg put the infantry of the army in motion towards Dalton, leaving the trains and artillery to follow, and Cleburne to guard the rear. His division, in tact from the disasters of the 24th and 25th, was perhaps the only ficer rode up and stated that General Hardee (who had been called forward to confer with General Bragg) directed that he at once push forward his infantry towards Dalton. Surprised at such an order, and hearing no sound of battle in front to indicate that the column of march had been intercepted, Cleburne hesitated an instant, an

all these did our true men war. I say true, because true men formed the staple of our armies. Of the ones just toasted, I can speak that I do know and testify that I have seen. From New Orleans to Shiloh, from Vicksburg to Chattanooga, from Dalton to Atlanta, from Atlanta to Nashville, from Nashville to Carolina I knew these men. Aye! I knew them well. The office in which I served brought me near to them. I was not their commissary, to be grumbed at about rations; nor their quartermasteed, to return pursued along roads just passed over as pursuers, this tests men, and all this tested these men, and they stood the test. As to their behavior in beleagured Vicksburg, its fame has filled the world. In their Georgia retreat from Dalton to Atlanta, fighting by day and withdrawing by night — and how it rained — preserving their morale, their faith in their leader strengthening with every retreating step; in this they proved themselves the peers of their fathers, following Green t
