On the 13th of March, Smith assembled four divisions-Sherman's, Hurlbut's, Lew Wallace's, and W. H. L. Wallace's, at Savannah, on the right bank of the Tennessee, at its Great Bend. Smith at once sent Sherman with his division, escorted by two gunboats, to land below Eastport and make a break in the Memphis & Charleston Railroad between Tuscumbia and Corinth.

McClernand aided in leading the men, and Hurlbut was active in reorganizing the troops, and bringing them up at critical moments. General Hurlbut informs the writer that his division was complete in organization, every regiment in place in line of battle, both Sunday evening and Monday morning.
