Colonel William Preston Johnston, The Life of General Albert Sidney Johnston : His Service in the Armies of the United States, the Republic of Texas, and the Confederate States., Chapter 28: Fort Donelson. (search)
as prepared, he has no means of verifying the statements made by Federal writers. He gives such data as he has. In a memorandum furnished Hon. Montgomery Blair by the War Department, for the information of the writer, General Grant's effective force at Donelson is placed at about 24,400. In a memorandum furnished the writer by the War Department (see Appendix, Chapter XXXI.), it is placed at 27,113. General Buell, in his letter of August 31, 1865, published in the New York World, September 5, 1865, estimates the reinforcements sent by him to Grant at 10,000 men, and Grant's force at from 30,000 to 35,000. Badeau says: On the last day of the fight Grant had 27,000 men, whom he could have put into battle; some few regiments of these were not engaged. Other reenforcements arrived on the 16th, after the surrender, swelling his number still further. In this estimate no account is taken of the cooperating naval forces, nor of troops landed and supporting, but not engage

in combined air and steam covered the period 1851-55, and perhaps later. His Cloud Engine, in which steam and air, in a condition resembling fog, were used to propel a piston, was exhibited at the fair of the American Institute, New York, in 1855. The machine appears to have failed to realize the expecta- tions of the inventor. There was a lack of adjustment somewhere, it may be supposed, but the end is not yet. In Washburn's Air-Heater and Steam-Generator, United States Patent, September 5, 1865, the air is also introduced under pressure into the furnace, and then passed through a cleansing-tank before being added to the steam evolved in the coil of pipe which constitutes the steam-generator. In this apparatus full saturation is obtained. See illustration in air engine. Stillman's Hot Air and Steam Generator, August 9, 1864, has also the combination of air and steam. Bickford's Patent, June 6, 1865, may also be examined in this connection. In Tanger's Steam Generat
