ted by field-works, and for neglecting to throw out all the cavalry at his disposal, as far in his front and on his flanks as possible? But in his letter See Boynton, Sherman's Historical Raid, p. 30. to General Halleck, sent from Savannah, April 5th, he said: General Nelson's division has arrived. The other two of General Buell's column will arrive to-morrow or next day.

In that case General Pope would not have been able to cross his troops to the Tennessee shore, and could not have taken in rear the forces h
