Forrest and Wheeler, with abundant horses, were sent against our long line of supply between Atlanta and Nashville; Forrest above and Wheeler below Chattanooga with hope Forrest above and Wheeler below Chattanooga with hope of drawing Sherman away from Atlanta, so that Hood could fall on his rear with his main army. But these efforts of the Confederate cavalry were as effectually thwarted by Sherman as Sherman's cavalry had been by Hood.. Hood at last acknowledged that he could not anywhere in our rear bring together sufficient force at important poes and mine to move on the station at Fairburn; then directly against the West Point railroad between Red Oak and Fairburn; Thomas was to follow up in support.

The benevolence was to be mutual aid; the defensive, ostensibly to prevent Union leagues, composed mostly of negroes, from disturbing the peace. Whatever the origin of the ass but the wounds received had caused him the loss of an arm. The secret bodies had different names in different localities. They appeared as Regulators, White Caps, Pale faces, Knights of the white Camellia, and Ku-Klux or Ku-Klux Klan. General Forrest testified before the Congressional Committee that his estimate of their numbers in Tennessee alone exceeded 40,000. The latter part of the year 1868, before the election of General Grant for his first term, these murderous secret societie
