In a letter on this subject to the War Department, dated April 13, 1863, General Grant says: Had General Wallace been relieved from duty in the morning, and the same orders communicated to Brigadier-General Morgan L.

The men at once se At one P. M., Sherman marched from the river in three columns, in echelon; the left under Morgan L. Smith, was the column of direction, and followed substantially the course of Chickamauga creek; tf his brigade as could operate along the narrow ridge, was to attack from the right centre; Morgan L. Smith was to move along the east base of Missionary ridge; and Loomis, in like manner, along the attack to within pistol-shot of the main rebel line, and advanced his left division, under Morgan L.
