The Daily Dispatch: October 28, 1863., [Electronic resource], Narrative of Wheeler's Circuit around Rosecrans. (search)
e raid will not amount to more than 500 men and three pieces of artillery, and seven or eight hundred horses and mules. A summary of the damage done the enemy consists in the burning of 800 wagons, capture of near 2,000 mules and horses, and the killing of as many, destruction of immense supplies at McMinnville, with railroad trains; also, the capture of a regiment of infantry, armed with splendid Enfield rifles; destruction of Stone river bridge, south of Murfreesboro', and the capture of the garrisons in the stockades, 88 strong; the burning of the track for ten miles or more, and the destruction of the bridges at Wartrace, and the trains, with three engines, near that place. Rumor reports Roddy's command to have destroyed the tunnel on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, near Stevenson. This is a grand feat, if true, and I have never heard it discredited yet. He barely made his escape, as the entire force pursuing Wheeler turned back to capture his command if possible.
