It so happens that a large majority of the people of Eastern Tennessee are in favor of the Union. For this reason Buell was made to stand on the defensive all along the line toward Nashville, and directed to throw the mass of his forces into Eastern Tennessee by way of Walker's and Cumberland gaps, if possiblEastern Tennessee by way of Walker's and Cumberland gaps, if possible reaching Knoxville. This was to enable the loyal to rise, a thing Mr. Lincoln greatly desired, and to break up all rail communications between Eastern Virginia and the Mississippi.

To effect his purpose Grant ordered Sherman to come to he thirteen miles. Burnside was delighted to see us, and gave us a turkey dinner. The loyal East Tennessee people had kept him well supplied during all that long siege. I then remembered President L return did come up to help Burpside, and later, Schofield, in the holding and picketing of East Tennessee for the winter of 1863 and 1864. During that time Granger had his headquarters at Loudon. from the South, here divided, the eastern branch running to Cleveland and toward Knoxville, East Tennessee, and the other bearing off to Chattanooga and the north, and passed through Taylor's Ridge aes, with Lookout for his advance guard and Raccoon for his reienforcement and the broad, swift Tennessee for his left flank, gave to the gallant general a cheerful repose.

My first duty immediately undertaken was to concentrate the corps in theen during the winter marching and camping, skirmishing and fighting in the country part of East Tennessee, so that, as one may well imagine, the regiments coming from that quarter were short of evernd encouragement then spoken to multitudes of soldiers were never forgotten.
