William Boynton, Sherman's Historical Raid, Chapter 13: (search)
ge of the war, but all information seems to point that way. Why General Thomas did not turn on Hood at Franklin appears from the following field dispatches from General Schofield, who was fighting a splendid battle at that place: Franklin, Tenn., November 30, 1864, 12 M. Major-General Thomas, Nashville. Your dispatch of 10:25 A. M. is received. I am satisfied that I have heretofore run too much risk in trying to hold Hood in check while so far inferior to him in both infantry a and in fighting condition, we can whip Hood easily, and I believe make the campaign a decisive one. Before that the most we can do is to husband our strength and increase it as much as possible. * * * * J. M. Schofield, Major-General Franklin, Tenn., November 30, 3 P. M. Major-General Thomas, Nashville. I have just received your dispatch, asking whether I can hold Hood here three days. I do not believe I can. I can doubtless hold him one day, but will hazard something in doing that.
